UC BERKELEY UNVEILS FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND 3-D-PRINTED CEMENT STRUCTURE


The freestanding pavilion, Bloom, is 9 ft high and has a footprint that measures about 12 ft x 12 ft. It is composed of 840 customized blocks that were 3-D-printed using a new type of iron oxide-free Portland cement polymer formulation developed by Ronald Rael. The debut of this groundbreaking project is a demonstration of the architectural potential of 3-D Printing.
