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.

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.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

NASA is offering US$ 750,000 to people from anywhere in the world who solve a problem that could decide survival on Mars: creating food for astronauts without relying on resupply from Earth.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With an 88-meter wingspan, a capacity of 250 tons, six engines, and 32 wheels, the Ukrainian giant became the greatest symbol of extreme air transport and one of the most impressive machines in aviation history.

While traditional masonry can take months, a Brazilian company sells houses that arrive ready-made on a truck, install in up to 8 hours, and already come with electrical, plumbing, bathrooms, and finishes.

With R$ 189 million and 10 Brazilian companies, Brazil is developing a 12-meter national rocket to launch satellites of up to 30 kg from Alcântara and try to conquer the “key to space” without depending on powers like the USA, Russia, China, and India.

Cheap used cars can turn into a headache: 7 models up to R$ 50,000 that seem like a good deal, but can wipe out your savings at the mechanic’s

Mangroves hide a billion-dollar water cleanup, remove 960 thousand tons of nitrogen per year, and reveal an environmental power that many people hadn’t even imagined existed.
