Mexican design practice MANUFACTURA has debuted CORNCRETL, a 3D-printable bio-composite made from corn waste and nixtamalization byproducts. Utilizing a WASP HD feeding system and KUKA robotic arm, the material achieves a 70 percent reduction in carbon emissions and a 90 percent decrease in production waste. The calcium-rich wastewater acts as a natural binder, allowing the lime-based system to harden at room temperature with self-healing properties. 🌽🏗️🤖♻️ #3DPrinting #Sustainability #ConstructionTech #CircularEconomy #AdditiveManufacturing
