The latest Discover RED video highlights the work of an interdisciplinary team led by the University of Arkansas' Michelle Barry. Her team is developing the tools and methods necessary to enable the U.S. Army to show up at a site, harvest the local indigenous soils and 3D print concrete infrastructure items. The innovative project is called ACME Tech (for Additive Construction Maneuver Enhancing Technology). This research is being done in partnership with Applied Research Associates and Iowa State University, and is sponsored by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center.
