This endeavor aligns EWN<sub>\u00ae<\/sub> principles and USACE sustainable infrastructure goals, resulting in engineering solutions that provide social, environmental, and economic benefits. In addition to flood risk reduction and wave energy dissipation, these printed features have the potential to sequester nutrients, restore habitats, and provide other added benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the workshop, we will delve into crucial aspects, such as material selection feasibility, sustainability, resilience, and process controls. The aim is to achieve optimized 3D printed structural morphologies, ensuring successful habitat functionality and biocompatibility. We envision establishing interagency partnerships leveraging the collaborative EWN<sub>\u00ae<\/sub> community. This approach will enable intelligent planning and unlock the full infrastructure and ecosystem benefits of 3D printed nature-inspired infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3D-Printing-NBS-Feb2024-opt.pdf\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"791\" src=\"https:\/\/ewn.erdc.dren.mil\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/3D-Printing-NBS-Feb-2024_Page_1-1024x791.jpg\" alt=\"EWN 3D PRINTING NATURE-INSPIRED INFRASTRUCTURE COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH WORKSHOP 2 Days | Vicksburg, MS 7-8 FEB 2024 Achieve optimized 3D printed structural morphologies, ensuring successful habitat functionality and biocompatibility.
