Coupling Non-Planar Robotic 3D Concrete Printing & Topology Optimization
Shell Wall demonstrator is the first lightweight, structurally reinforced freeform concrete wall ever 3D printed. This innovative wall system features a geometry optimized to support its load case, with material ...
Geometrically Informed Non-Planar Toolpath and Material Deposition
This research developed a computation method that synergies the Geometrically Informed Non-Planar toolpath (GINP-toolpath) and Geometrically Informed Variable Material Deposition (GIV-Material Deposition) to produce ultra-lightweight ...
Sequential Cast-in-Place Method with Ultra-Thin Additively Manufactured Formwork for Compression-Only Structures
This research presents an alternative approach to constructing compression-only structures by introducing an innovative in-situ construction approach. ...
3D printing plastic formwork can transform concrete construction and enable the production of individual freeform concrete structures quickly and cost-effectively, minimizing construction waste and labor. The degree of geometric complexity ...
