3DConcrete – An NSF AccelNet Network of Networks

Arizona State University (ASU), University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), Purdue University, University of Texas Austin, and Columbia University are collaborating on the creation of a 3D concrete printing network of networks, with partners from several countries all over the globe. Our goal is to facilitate collaborative research, education, training, and outreach in the novel area of concrete 3D printing for multi-functional structural systems, that will contribute to advances in materials, energy and environmental sustainability. We propose to build on existing, established connections and forge new and sustainable collaborations to leverage research expertise and facilities, educational and outreach activities, and industrial contacts.
