3D Printing Technology in the Field of Architecture (original) (raw)

3D Printing as a Technological Tool Geared Towards Architecture

Architectural Draughtsmanship, 2017

3D technology marks a major breakthrough in architecture; however, it requires a new approach. 3D printing, regardless of the field in which it is used, inevitably involves reinventing one or other process. For example, in the machining of industrial components, there are certain limitations whereby certain features of the design, such as inaccessible cavities, for example, are simply unable to be replicated. 3D printing does away with these limitations, opening up a new paradigm where most of these processes are now possible. This paper analyzes how 3D printing has the potential to become a new technological printing tool geared towards architecture.

3D Printing Technologies in Architectural Design and Construction: A Systematic Literature Review

Buildings

The proliferation of digital technologies considerably changed the field of architecture. Digital fabrication pushes architecture into an unexpected new domain of previously unachievable complexity, detail, and materiality. Understanding these technologies’ impact can help direct future research, innovate design and construction processes, and improve the education of future professionals. However, comprehensive reviews offering a holistic perspective on the effects of 3D printing technologies on architecture are limited. Therefore, this study aims to provide a systematic review of state-of-the-art research on 3D printing technologies in architectural design and construction. The review was performed using three major databases, and selected peer-reviewed journal articles published in the last ten-year period were included in quantitative and qualitative analyses. Using bibliometric analysis, the research progress is summarized through the identified trend of the annual number of ar...

Towards a new digital craft. Potential and limitations of 3D printing in architecture and construction

ISTeA conference 2017 - Re-shaping the construction industry, 2017

During the last years, the use of 3D printing has significantly increased across various industrial sectors. While in some areas of the manufacturing industry this technology, based on a layer-by-layer process, is already mature, in the construction sector the examples are still limited. Advocates of 3D printing technology identify its main advantages, among others, in terms of increased customisation options, more effective use of materials, reduced construction time and reduced labour on site, with the general goal of delivering tailored solutions at reduced costs, allowing a just-in-time management of the supply chain. This paper investigates the potential advantages of 3D printing in the current design and construction process, and the creative opportunities opened by components with custom forms, limited only by the mechanical and structural behaviour of the materials. A theoretical application of 3D printing with concrete is then presented, related to the production of structural elements with different complex shapes. Besides showing the digital design process leading to the geometrical definition of these components, the paper considers some of the challenges related to issues such as their off-site production, their installation process and the structural properties of the final assembly, based on literature data. Finally, some economical aspects of 3D printing are discussed and compared with standardised solutions.

The Impact of Using 3D Printing on Model Making Quality and Cost in the Architectural Design Projects

2017

The expert educators use different techniques in the educational process targeting the teaching effectiveness considering the disciplinary of the learners. They also encourage their sense of creativity by adding the technology to the educational process, in the field of architecture as an art and science, the use of new technologies is an important reflection of the design concept. Moreover, architects use some technological programs presenting their ideas such as 2and 3 dimensional drawings, V Ray, 3D Max, Primavera etc. The new technique “3 Dimensional Printing” means using the architectural new modeling technique to show the feasibility and effectiveness of using the new technique in this discipline as a presentation tool for the learners’ projects in the design process. This paper aims to focus on different benefits and values of implementing the 3dimensional printing technology in the discipline of Architecture and Interior Design for undergraduate learners and examine the fina...

Exploring the Emerging Design Territory of Construction 3D Printing - Project Led Architectural Research Exploring the Emerging Design Territory of Construction 3D Printing -Project Led Architectural Research

Research Repository, Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, 2011

3D printing techniques (also known as additive fabrication) are maturing and increasingly being used as an alternative means for niche product manufacturing. These fabrication techniques are now being scaled up and adapted for full-scale fabrication within the construction industry. While it has been suggested that construction 3D printing (fabrication of construction elements using scaled up 3D printing machines) could lead to significant advances within the construction industry, there are currently few examples of how such advances could be achieved at a building scale. Although there has been significant effort invested in the development of construction 3D printing techniques, little detailed architectural design exploration has been published to establish methods for its application within the construction industry. My central proposition is that further detailed architectural exploration, focused on design for construction 3D printing combined with off-site fabrication methods and digital design tools, is necessary to tease out the potentials and limitations of construction 3D printing techniques. This exegesis is split into two parts; the first part presents background research based on interviews, site visits and literature review, focused on the topics; design, off-site fabrication, digital design tools and 3D printing within construction and parallel industries (aerospace, automotive, manufacturing and shipbuilding). The second part of the exegesis presents case studies of three architectural projects, which I designed, focused on design for fabrication using construction 3D printing. These case studies include: Freefab, a visionary design for a high-rise apartment building on Sydney harbour, designed in 2004. And two new architectural projects: Villa Roccia, a rock inspired house to be built in Sardinia and (in)human habitat a speculative design for an artificial reef in the Red Sea. The original contribution of this research is in the primary field survey of practices and emerging trends within the construction and parallel industries. Original contributions are also made in the synthesis of selected practices identified from literature review and the field surveys to form novel design and construction methodologies. These methodologies have been tested through the design of unique architectural projects focused on fabrication using Construction 3D Printing.

3D Concrete Printing in Architecture - A research on the potential benefits of 3D Concrete Printing in Architecture

2017

This research explores the use of large-scale 3D Printing techniques in architecture and structural design. First we will analyse the various methods in large-scale 3D printing in order to choose the method with the most potential to be used to build large-scale residential buildings in the Netherlands. Then we will investigate the properties of this 3D printing technique to determine the new building process, related to building with a 3D Concrete Printer. The freedom in movement of the printer and the properties of the concrete mixture used to print will form the guidelines in the creation of a design language in which both material costs and labour costs are reduced to a minimum. The design language is later applied on the design of a house, which shows the impact 3D Concrete Printing should have on the current boundaries in architecture and structural design.
