The University of Arkansas College of Engineering recently received a $3.5-million grant from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to study the quickest way to 3D-print horizontal mission structures for the U.S. military.
The task is to identify optimum design patterns from native materials that can be used for horizontal construction—projects longer and wider than they are tall. These include culverts, T-walls and Jersey barriers. The output will include printing instructions for mobile robots that can be rapidly deployed, according to a release from the college.
