Researchers in Australia have taken inspiration from the shell patterning on lobsters to enhance the strength of 3D-printed concrete. The team from Melbourne's RMIT University said that by using a twisting pattern, similar to the internal structure of a lobster's shell, combined with a special concrete mix enhanced with steel fibres, the resultant 3D-printed structures were stronger, more efficient and more sustainable than traditionally-produced concrete.
