Good to see that we are heading in the right direction in the application of 3D printing. Case Study #1 Singapore showcases first on-site 3D-printed childcare centre; exterior walls built in 2 days (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/spores-first-on-site-3d-printing-of-structural-elements-cuts-down-on-needed-manpower-materials) Nestled in a Woodlands condominium stands Singapore’s first 3D-printed childcare centre, where young charges are soon expected to engage in play and study. All the exterior walls, including the curved ones, on the first floor of the two-storey building were printed on-site in Norwood Grand, a 348-unit development which is expected to be completed in July. These walls were built within two days, pumped from the nozzle of a large-scale 3D printer. The second floor was constructed the traditional way. Case Study #2 No bricklayers, only robots: Singapore’s first 3D-printed house (https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/lifestyle/arts-design/no-bricklayers-only-robots-singapores-first-3d-printed-house) Most architects don’t live inside their experiments. Lim Koon Park does. In the lush district of Bukit Timah, he’s built a home that rewrites the rules of construction – layer by printed layer. QR3D, the first 3D-printed house in the country, is not just a technical first. It’s a working, breathing home designed around light, air, and lived experience. Four levels. Seven bedrooms. A 6-metre-high concrete oculus at its heart. And no bricklayers in sight. For Lim, founder of the acclaimed architecture practice Park + Associates, QR3D is both a milestone and a meditation. “We weren’t interested in doing a technological demo,” he says, seated at his custom-made steel dining table. “It had to be liveable. It had to feel like a real home.” Case Study #3 S’pore’s first 3D-printed pedestrian bridge set to be completed in Jurong West in 2028 (https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/spores-first-3d-printed-pedestrian-bridge-set-to-be-completed-in-jurong-west-in-2028?ref=latest-headlines) Singapore will build its first 3D-printed concrete pedestrian bridge over Jurong River by 2028, connecting Jurong West and Tengah town. The 3D printing technology offers 50% manpower savings and significantly reduces production time.. Tests validate structural integrity; LTA views project as a pilot to assess feasibility for future 3D concrete printing applications.

How can parents take it.... Look at how our MSF subsidies fee structure for special needs.

Hi guys, My ride is due for scrap in 4mths time, so 1 of the option for me is getting a 2nd hand OPC car then convert it to normal plate. So I wanna understand how does OPC structure works, a few doubts here. 1) Can it be done? as in buy a 2nd hand OPC car, then convert it to normal plate. 2) I know that if a car is OPC, the COE will be $17K cheaper, but what happen if the COE bidding that time is less than $17K? will it affect the PARF value? 3)if say i going to convert a 2nd hand car (say left 5 yrs) back to normal plate, COE say at 15K, OMV at 10K? how do i do my math? Thanks in advance

the chinese had brought illegal structure in a condominium or apartment to a whole new level. the big question is how could the owner complete his mod? such big rocks and plants need to be hoist / transport up to the penthouse unit all the residents in the building jiak sai liao and no one can stop him until he complete the illegal structure?

which is preferred? Amount is just an example i.e. not real. unfortunately,my friend is under structure 1 and he is super unhappy about the low basic....but his annual package is more than me!

Hi all, I'm trying to identify the structure circled in red. Does any bro's kmow where this place is? It is supposedly in Punggol area. Is this a dam? Sorry, I have to block out the person in the pics as the pic was taken from a blog.

Experiencing creaking or squeaking sound from the left A-pillar(with the cover removed) when shocks are felt on the left front wheel. If shock is experienced on both front wheel, no creaking or squeaking sound. Till date, still unable to locate the source. Any pros tink that it could be the A-pillar metal frame structure? Based on the pic, will any of the parts within the circled area contribute to the noise? Wires and the rubber strips are not the source.

Hi, anyone know how Malaysia tier the speeding fine on NS highway? i.e. exceed speed limit by how much, fine how much? I know the maximum is RM300.
