Incredibly exciting to see Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex getting all the credit and attention it deserves for the leadership Fiona Coughlin, CFRE and her team showed bringing #3DCP to Canada. It was truly an honour to be part of this project. Big thank you to ON Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Paul Calandra and his team for visiting and seeing what 3DCP can do!

🌱 Transforming construction with 3D-printed negative carbon concrete    We are shining a light on another recipient of our 36 seed-funded projects which are making their mark in creating a sustainable future.    To meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C, current practices need to change to accelerate decarbonization. The construction sector is moving towards this path. The research project "Eco-Architecture Decarbonized 3D-Printed Concrete Buildings" aims to revolutionize the concrete industry in reducing fossil fuel consumption.     This project focuses on producing negative carbon concrete for 3D printing technologies using innovative materials like metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that can capture and store carbon dioxide within the concrete. It also uses digital tools and AI to optimize 3D printing, boosting productivity and efficiency.    Khaled Galal, Professor at Concordia University is the Principal Investigator (PI) of this research project. Collaborating with Galal as Co-PIs are professors at Concordia University, Ahmed Soliman, Amin Hammad and Ashlee Howarth, and associate professor at Dalhousie University, James Forren.    The project’s budget is $200,000 in cash and $470,000 of in-kind.    Thank you to our non-academic partners for their support and trust:   Lafarge Canada Inc., Aecon Group Inc., Pomerleau, SNC-Lavalin, nidus3D Explore more about this project on the Volt-Age page: https://lnkd.in/edMSwQ8z   #3dprinting #concrete #lowcarbonmaterials #lifecycleanalysis #automation #design #artificialintelligence #architecture #VoltAgeConcordia

nidus3D is situated on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee. To acknowledge this traditional territory is to recognize the long history of the land and its inhabitants. To honour #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay, join us in taking time today to celebrate the enduring contributions of Canada's First Peoples.

Paige Janelle Gaulin: Procurement Specialist Next up for "Meet the Team"...the amazing Paige! Paige Gaulin is returning to the trades, after a decade in kitchens. Working her way up from busser to sous-chef in a busy, accomplished kitchen thanks to her work ethic, energy and enthusiasm, and a commitment to excellence and improvement. These traits are deeply transferable to nidus3D and the 3DCP sector, and we are thrilled to have her.     When Paige first saw the COBOD BOD2 printer in action she "got goosebumps" she said, and it was sealed. Paige brings an eye for efficiency and processes that makes nidus3D sites run smoothly.       Paige's dedication to a job well done extends past her work day. Paige has taught ballet, tap and jazz and is accredited as a dance teacher by the British Association of Teachers of Dance. As a competitive gymnast, she took gold at OFFSA. These days she mostly dances in her basement and cooks for friends. She enjoys the outdoors including archery, snowboarding and spending time with her two dogs.    #womenintrade #womeninconstruction #tradeswomenofinstagram #3dprintingcommunity #3DConstructionPrinting #3DConcretePrinting    #Construction3DPrinting #3DCP #3dprintingarchitecture    #3dprintedbuilding #3dprintedhouses #3darchitecture #concreteconstruction #3dprintedbuilding  #3dprintedhouses  #3dhouseprinting #concretedesign
