User-Driven Trends for Additive Manufacturing – Building and Construction Industry
Building and Construction Industry
As per a report of 2022, in the last five years, the use of 3D construction printing has increased significantly, not only in terms of the number of buildings built but also in terms of the type of buildings or structures built. COBOD’s machines have been utilized by companies to print one-, two-, and three-story buildings up to 4,100 ft2. They’ve constructed schools (Holcim/14 Trees), wind turbine tower bases (GE Renewable Energy), and a variety of other structures across six continents.
As per a report of 2022, Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis of the University of California developed a ‘contour crafting’ process that uses concrete to create small-scale models of the external and internal walls of houses, and he is testing a giant transportable 3D printer that could be used to build the walls of a house in 24 hours.
A level ground slab with subterranean services is required for the robotic system. Rails are constructed on either side of the footprint to accommodate a gantry crane that spans the whole structure. The layers of concrete are then delivered by a nozzle controlled by a computer. The layers stack up to form an inner and outer skin for each wall, which is eventually filled with insulation or concrete.
