Evaluating 3D-Printed Molds in New York City building

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is collaborating with Pre-cast/Prestressed Concrete Institute (PCI) and Gate Precast on evaluating 3D-printed molds, which have faster lead times, increased durability, and better quality, for the Domino-Site A building in New York City under the U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center Building Energy Efficiency (CERC-BEE) Integrated Building Design and Construction project. 

The project was recently featured in Additive Manufacturing and Redshiftby Autodesk. For more, click on the links below:
