MIT engineers have developed a novel masonry system that utilizes 3D printed recycled glass to create interlocking bricks, showcasing robustness and versatility in construction.
Test results reveal that these 3D printed glass bricks can withstand nearly the same pressure levels as traditional concrete, making them a strong alternative for building material.
The innovative design allows for easy reconfiguration; if a structure needs to be demolished, the glass bricks can be melted and reprinted for new applications.
The combination of a custom 3D printing machine and recycled materials represents a significant advancement in sustainable construction techniques and material reuse.
