Technology: Digital Construction - Concrete 3D Printing
From CAD to digital production: the technological and economic potential of digital construction in concrete in the precasting yard and on site is indisputably high. Productivity increases, costs fall, construction is faster and more flexible. Design freedom over component geometry increases. The potential for developing new architectural forms and structural concepts such as "form follows force" is high. Digitisation can also contribute to solving existing problems and challenges in construction production, for example the global shortage of qualified construction workers and dwindling material resources. Advantages also arise in relation to environmentally compatible construction: from dispensing with the use of formwork and its disposal to material-saving component geometry and the minimisation of waste. It also minimises the number of separate construction operations and improves working conditions in difficult-to-access, dangerous areas or in remote regions.
