The AddMamBa project transforms steel scrap into metal powder to print high-performance building components with 3D laser technology. Concrete circular economy to reduce emissions, consumption, and waste in the construction sector.

Data centers and chip factories are driving industrial-scale infrastructure investments. 3D printing, custom materials, and integrated logistics reduce times and costs. However, scaling requires mature digital ecosystems and resilient supply chains.

Forge I, a new factory in the United Kingdom, produces structural concrete elements via large-scale 3D printing. The project, led by Hyperion Robotics and LKAB Minerals, represents a paradigm shift towards the industrial production of complex building components, with benefits in terms of efficiency, quality control, waste reduction, and lower environmental impact. The factory is expected to

The German project AddMamBa transforms scrap steel into structural components for construction via 3D printing, reducing emissions and waste. Through the atomization of metal scraps into powder suitable for laser melting, brackets and connectors are obtained with performance similar to traditional components, but with lower environmental impact. The approach includes chemical control, optimization

Bio-inspired soft sensors represent an engineering revolution: the material structure itself becomes the true sensor, generating electrical signals without electronic components. Thanks to porous and anisotropic microarchitectures, these smart materials convert mechanical stimuli into electrical responses by leveraging natural physical phenomena, such as streaming potential. Studies inspired by the spines
