Scientists from the Czech Technical University in Prague and the Technical University of Liberec presented a functional device for 3D printing from cement mixtures today at the Klokner Institute of the Czech Technical University in Prague. The University of Liberec supplied the print head and test printing equipment for the project. It is also developing a robotic arm that will carry the next generation of print heads. Specialists from the Klokner Institute's Concrete Laboratory are working on developing cement composites ideal for printing and providing valuable feedback for modifications to the 3D printer - testbed and print head.

Builders and property owners often need to have the rate of water seepage into the subsoil determined. They are legally responsible for the impact of the construction on the hydrogeological conditions of the land, which includes the management of rainwater and its eventual seepage. A hydrogeologist will determine the permeability of the rock environment by means of a seepage test depending on the type of soil. This cannot be done without field measurements because the subsoil is highly variable due to frequent changes in natural soil types and the presence of artificial deposits.

The Faculty of Transportation Technology (FD) opened a unique European laboratory on Tuesday, 22 June 2021, which will be used to develop and test communication systems between vehicles and between the vehicle and transport infrastructure, essential components for autonomous vehicle development.
