3D Printing - The Future of Concrete

via constructiondigital.com

3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) project was funded by EPSRC through the Innovative Manufacturing and Construction Research Centre at Loughborough University. 3DCP is a large-scale additive manufacturing process capable of producing full sized building components that gives architects a tremendous degree of design freedom because the components are manufactured directly from the architects’ digital model.

The research team scaled up the extrusion-based process and demonstrated a life-scale (1 by 2 by 0.8 m) construction piece called ‘Wonder Bench’ in 2010. The build material was developed specifically for the 3DCP process and the researchers demonstrated that the strength of the printed material was approximately 95% of the strength of the conventional cast equivalent.
