Programme Highlights
Additive manufacturing (also named 3D printing) refers to
the technology of fabricating objects through the deposition of a material
using a print head, nozzle, or similar printer technology. The first
construction 3D printing (C3DP) system was introduced in 1997. However, C3DP
technology is still in an infant stage after almost 20 years, and very limited
research studies are available in this domain. To unlock the full potential of
C3DP, it is important to explore how this free-form printing feature can be
used to create something that cannot be fabricated using ordinary construction
method easily. To elaborate this notion, a new concept named CONSTRUCTION+
describes how C3DP can add new values to construction through bring innovative
functions to building components. The speaker will introduce the background and
concept of Construction+ and review recent development and application of C3DP
in the field. Then, he will discuss how C3DP can add values to construction and
demonstrate some real-life examples.
