Researchers Create Translucent Concrete With 3D Printing at 80% Lower Cost Than Traditional Concrete. Technology Is Set to Revolutionize the Construction Industry.

They promise to revolutionize the construction sector with the HTRANS, a world-first translucent concrete that allows for the incorporation of 3D printed designs and the creation of facades or pavements on demand. Its designers are José Ramón Albiol Ibáñez and Miguel Sánchez López, two researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).

“Any project we can imagine can be 3D printed and incorporated into the facade construction process. With HTRANS, we can create structures including innovative images, in many different shapes: from our company’s logo to reproducing a piece of art, the face of a person, or the skyline of a city. We can also include light devices, such as LEDs, to illuminate the structure”, says José Ramón Albiol, a professor at the School of Building Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de València.

HTRANS Has Permanent Lighting

This innovative concrete can incorporate permanent or intermittent lighting in any area, using batteries that are charged through an external feeder, as well as wireless charging devices.

3D Printed Translucent Concrete Is 80% Cheaper Than Traditional Concrete

In the production process, the UPV researchers emphasize its simplicity: on one hand, they have 3D printed pieces with the designs they want to incorporate into the product, whether it’s a facade or a pavement.

These pieces are included in the formwork, concrete is poured, and once inside them, both sides are polished to achieve the final product with the image or design chosen. “All of this is done in record time and at a much lower cost than today”, conclude the researchers from UPV.

All of this is at a much lower cost than conventional translucent concrete. Translucent concrete is not a new thing, but it has to be handmade, which directly impacts its high final cost.

“This is where one of HTRANS’s main advantages lies. What makes our invention stand out is the inclusion of 3D printed transparent resin pieces within the concrete. Thanks to this, and the use of non-fiber optic filaments, we can automate production and significantly reduce production time, which translates into a cost savings of about 80% in the final product”, says Miguel Sánchez, a professor in the Department of Computer Engineering (DISCA) at the Universitat Politècnica de València.

I would love to know what you think of this new concrete. Let us know in the comments section if you are a construction professional and your experience in the field. Don’t forget to turn on notifications from CPG to keep up with all the news from the automotive world. See you next time!

Que matéria mais sem pé nem cabeça. Concreto nos lembra uma peça estrutural, mas se fala de transparência, iluminação LED,… Não tem informação técnica alguma, tudo isto foi só para atrair clicks. Somos todos otários!?

Artigo muito pobre, do ponto de vista técnico. Não apresentou nenhuma informação sobre a composição ou o processo de produção do concreto.

Spain surprises the world by erecting 62 artificial dunes, mixing sand with natural remains of posidonia, and causing the structure to lose only 1.4% of its volume in 1 year.

Geographers redefine the Brazilian relief and confirm the presence of mountains in 14 states with a new system that changes historical criteria and alters the way the territory is classified.

The Brazilian Civil Code states that a property owner has the right to cut the roots of a neighbor’s tree that invade their land, as long as it does not harm the tree itself. The owner must notify the neighbor before taking such action.

Scientists have recorded 12 sunken vessels on the seabed around the port of Santos: seven have already been studied, with highlights including the Casador from 1828, the Questrel that appears at low tide, and the Professor Besnard, which capsized after a recent heavy rain.
