Diamanti 3D-Printed Bridge
Sector: Bridge • Location: Paris, France
Source: Noticias Ambientales
Diamanti is a 3D-printed bridge developed by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania that uses biomimetic design inspired by human bones, absorbent materials, and smart modularity to reduce environmental impact. It features a porous geometry that reduces weight by 60% without losing strength and increases CO₂ absorption by up to 30%. The concrete mix absorbs 142% more CO₂ than conventional

Description
Description | Diamanti is a 3D-printed bridge developed by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania that uses biomimetic design inspired by human bones, absorbent materials, and smart modularity to reduce environmental impact. It features a porous geometry that reduces weight by 60% without losing strength and increases CO₂ absorption by up to 30%. The concrete mix absorbs 142% more CO₂ than conventional concrete due to diatomaceous earth. The bridge is constructed in robotically printed modules assembled on-site with tension cables, reducing steel usage by 80%, construction costs by 25-30%, and energy consumption and emissions by 25%. A 10-meter version is exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025, with plans to build a full-scale functional bridge in France. |
