3D Printed Tile System Developed at FIU Aims to Retrofit Seawalls for Ecology and Climate Resilience
A modular concrete tile system developed at Florida International University (FIU) is being deployed to test how 3D printed surfaces can enhance marine biodiversity, reduce shoreline erosion, and improve urban water quality. Known as BIOCAP—short for Biodiversity Improvement by Optimizing Coastal Adaptation and Performance—the system is scheduled for pilot installation in spring 2025 at Morningside […]
