By integrating various recyclable resources, WINSUN has independently developed green and environmentally friendly ink for 3D printing buildings.
The 3D printed components are far stronger than those made with traditional reinforced concrete.
In the Jiangsu section of the Shanghai-Jiangsu portline, the waterway improvement works are carried out.
For the first time in history, WINSUN’s custom-made 3D printed dam is installed.
According to the special requirements of the waterway, WINSUN has designed ecological slope revetment protection, using the self-developed construction ink, printing layer by layer, the slope protection is trapezoidal, the structure is stable, the wall has ecological hollow space, which can accommodate aquatic life, and the patterned top space is reserved for plantation to preserve its unique river bank ecology.
During the whole construction process, 3D printing technology has not only reduced the construction difficulties, shortens the construction time, and reduced the high cost of building, but it also has greatly reduced the on-site labor and improved the operational safety.
It is especially significant for the construction of water transportation projects under these extreme environments.
As the world's first 3D printed secondary revetment dam, this project has laid the foundation for its future application to other waterways.
This has proven to be a brand-new solution for the rapid installation of waterway protection engineering projects.
Recently, the 70-meter-long Suzhou City Expressway's first 3D printed sound barrier pilot demonstration project was officially completed on the S58 Shanghai-Changzhou Expressway.
It is estimated that the 3D printed sound barrier can effectively reduce noise by about 30 dB, and the noise reduction effect is more obvious than the sound barrier using traditional technology.
The noise barrier of traditional materials such as laminated glass, acrylic transparent board, and cement sawdust board has a noise reduction effect of 20-22 decibels.
Yingchuang 3D printed sound barrier has a noise reduction effect of 30 decibels, which effectively reduces the noise around the highway and improves Living conditions of residents on both sides of the road. ■
The main thing making weather headlines Friday and into the weekend will be the widespread coverage of showers and thunderstorms across much of the central and eastern U.S., with a particular focus across southeast Texas, the Mid-South, and portions of Virginia.
