University of Malta

The University of Malta is a leading research institution developing innovative construction engineering solutions. The university has constructed Malta's first prototype gantry-type 3D concrete printer. Their research focuses heavily on sustainable construction practices by exploiting waste and industrial byproducts. Researchers utilize local globigerina limestone and recycled aggregates to create low-impact eco-friendly concrete mixes. This cutting-edge technology helps reduce embodied carbon while improving the thermal efficiency and durability of future buildings.
