    A project that aims to restore lost coral beds in local Hong Kong waters has found that hexagonal clay tiles made using 3D printing technology provide a suitable habitat for the species to grow and repopulate. Under a project launched in 2016, scientists from the University of Hong Kong placed tiles designed to look like coral on a sea floor an area of Hoi Ha Wan Marine Park. Researchers found that after only two months, the coral had a 100 per cent survival rate on the 3D printed tiles beds.

      @@jeez123 We're currently destroying our planet right? But there are also people who are working to fix it right? To reverse climate change. Now fast-forward 100 years. We see a planet that has potential to be another Earth but perhaps the water is lifeless. So we use this 3D tile to grow coral so sea life can bloom. Hence, my opinion above.

    The tiles are nice and all but why 3d print? Wouldn’t a slip cast plaster mold be much faster and uses way less clay? I mean they could use it to prototype but none of their shapes are complex enough to warrant 3d printing especially with a robotic arm.

  • @YouriTegelaers
    @YouriTegelaers 3 года назад +1

    Why not simply use a number of different templates to push the clay in? Much easier (and not unimportant, cheaper!) to mass produce. I’m all for the initiative but feels like the 3D printing production is done to get marketing exposure... major deja-vu about the general concept.

      It's clay, which is made from sand. I would say that's natural enough. We can hash out the finer details on what is more or less of an "artificial" approach after the reefs are healed.
