AMC TRR277

The SFB/Transregio TRR 277 aims to examine Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a novel digital manufacturing technology for the construction industry in an interdisciplinary, cross-location research project. In Additive Manufacturing, the production of building components is achieved solely by a digitally controlled layer-by-layer material application, without mould making or forming processes. This approach represents a paradigm shift to the manual construction processes, which are characterised by traditional, predominantly craft-based techniques. As a result, productivity in the construction industry has stagnated for decades. In addition, these manual techniques foster a rather simple component design and thus inefficient use of materials. Against the background of the enormous demand for resources in the construction industry, this methods of constructing contributes significantly to global CO2 emissions... The objective of the proposed TRR 277 is to explore the fundamentals for..
