World’s First, 500 Meters Long, 3D Printed River Revetment Wall | ASCE SmartBrief
It's the largest 3D printed structure ever built. In stream restoration, river engineering or coastal engineering, revetments are sloping structures placed on banks or cliffs in such a way as to absorb the energy of incoming water. The 3D printed wall consists of separate 3D printed modules that provide the necessary protection against strong river currents and the relative erosion, protecting coastal habitats, even those farther inland, from wetland flooding, aquifer, and agricultural soil contamination and lost habitats for fish, birds, trees and plants. 3D Printing Media Network
