"Cement piping that looks like soft-serve ice-cream” Stellar wordsmithing from the Guardian. Use that next time you're trying to share how 3D Concrete Printing works. Everyone get's it (not just the 3D CP nerds) Great project LUYTEN? Article below.

Big news - Brand New Website just launched for Liberty3D Its new. Its fresh. Its better. Most importantly, it speaks to our ideal customers. So, If you're a: ?? Homebuyer ?? City Leader ??? Developer ?? Lonely Cat Lady We want to talk to you (most of you anyway) DM's are open Jason S. Jones Ryan Sweeney Johnny Nelson Stephen DeRouen

Can we post personal stuff here? Like a dual Master's admission at The University of Texas at Austin? We don't just talk "community" for show—we're intentional to build it in our team. Proud of you Ryan Sweeney for making the team smarter! #UT #Masters #3DCP

Executing graduate-level University research is super exci....actually, well, pretty boring...?? Iterating one single thing at a time. Methodical. Careful. Slow. BUT, AI is radically transforming how the universities are approaching science. Yes, science itself is changing and iterating faster than ever before. Since we love all things 3D-printed concrete related, let's look at a study - Unlike traditional mold-cast concrete, it lacks formwork, making it harder to predict how strong it will be as it cures. Conventional methods struggle to account for all the variables—curing conditions, material properties, and environmental factors. But this is where AI steps in. A recent study used machine learning to predict the early-age flexural strength of 3D-printed concrete beams using data from embedded sensors. The results? AI models, especially artificial neural networks (ANNs), outperformed traditional approaches, achieving 95.1% accuracy in strength prediction. This shift isn’t just about better predictions. It’s about reliability, efficiency, and automation. AI enables real-time monitoring, reduces costly trial-and-error, and enhances safety by minimizing structural risks. The bigger picture? AI is slowly but surely integrating into industries like construction, manufacturing, and materials science—not replacing experts, but augmenting their ability to solve problems faster and more effectively. Where else do you see AI making breakthroughs in research?

Liberty3Ds founder, Jason S. Jones trying to comprehend how big of an idea he's working on (the guy in the shorts) Occasionally we laugh at ourselves ?? Sometimes we make jokes ?? ??% of the time we know we're making a big difference ??

Easy on the Eyes Easy on the Ears Concrete Printed Speakers. Thanks Vertico

This stuff isn't cheap. It's the little things (well, and sometimes big) that add up and eat into your margins. Which is why, with any new building methodology, costs are high to start. But eventually, you get ?? Better at batching. ?? Better at pumping. ?? Better at Site Preparation. ?? Better at All-Day Printing. Costs come down when you efficiency goes up.

"Are 3D-printed houses sturdy?" It's a common question for anyone in the 3D CP space The Liberty3D engineering team were impressed with the seismic testing for 3D-printed buildings from a Chinese research group to check "sturdiness" (sturdy isn't an engineering term btw) The six-degree-of-freedom shaking table used by Prof. Sun's team at Zhejiang University was the start of the testing setup- generating complex multi-directional forces that truly replicate real-world earthquake conditions. Their methodical approach (6 seismic conditions × 7 tests each) shows a proper commitment to statistical validity. NICE. What really caught our attention was their instrumentation package: ->Multi-point acceleration and displacement sensors ->Distributed strain gauges across critical stress points ->Ultra-high-speed cameras capturing 3,000 fps (6GB/sec!) The ability to capture micro-failures and stress distributions through optical tracking gives incredible insight into how these structures actually behave under load. Results? ->Structural integrity maintained through intensity 6 -> Manageable cracking at 7-8 -> And even at intensity 9, core structural stability (e.g. you have enough time to get out before getting crushed in an earthquake) We'll have to see the technical build details (rebar, mesh, print speed, concrete strength, etc) but this is impressive. What testing innovations have impressed you lately?

Text-to-CAD Anyone? Quick Demo Below! 1: Clip a Floor Plan 2: Drop in ChatGPT 3: Prompt to describe pic 4: Reprompt, drop into a Text-to-CAD tool 5: CAD rendering in STL, DXF, etc. Boom I used a simple 3D printed house design as a basis and demonstrated how I prompted a CAD tool using ChatGPT to generate a model. While the results were verrrrry basic, I believe this technology can significantly enhance how clients communicate their needs. I encourage you to think about how we can leverage these tools to provide better guidance to our clients.

Harsh Truth: 3D Concrete Printing houses isn't "cheaper" Overlooked Truth: Economics 101 is still true - Increase supply, decrease prices. That's where the cost savings are sitting. The savings are realized in Quality & HOW efficient the ENTIRE home creation ecosystem is. More Homes Made = Lower Home Prices (assuming demand is constant) According to a Study from TN, (link below) a 10% supply increase leads up to a 8% decrease in home prices. That's worth talking a lot more about wherever you call home.
