3D concrete printing: Potential applications in architecture

Translated title of the contribution: 3D concrete printing: Potential applications in architecture

Research output: Contribution to specialist publicationArticle

Abstract

Potential applications of 3D concrete printing (3DP) in architecture are discussed. Additive manufacturing methods, such as 3D concrete printing have gained a foothold in many industrial areas. 3D printers are also increasingly being used by end consumers. In all 3DP methods, a 3D model of a component is converted to 2D layers that are used to build up the component in a layer-by-layer process either by applying a shapeable material or by selective binding in a particle bed. The associated work steps do not require specially designed tools and almost completely decouple production cost from the manufactured number of pieces and element complexity.
