7. MACHINE DESIGN
(CEMENTING MATERIAL AS CONCRETE)
• THE MACHINE HAD TO ACCOUNT FOR BOTH THE FRESH AND
THE PRINTED PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE.
• 3 COMPONENTS
I. THE CONCRETE TANK AND PUMPING MECHANISM
II. THE PRINTING NOZZLE
III. MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM
7

8. I. TANK AND PUMP DESIGN
• TO TRANSPORT THE CONCRETE PASTE FROM THE TANK TO
NOZZLE.
• IT COMBINES SYRINGE PRESSURE METHEDOLOGY AND
CEMENT SCREW PUMP.
• TANK IS A CYLINDRICAL MOBILE NOZZLE,CONNECTED TO THE
MACHINE AND MOVES WITH IT.
• BOTTOM OF TANK IS PRINTING NOZZLE.
• MOST ELEMENT CONSIDERED IS THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY
THE PUMP WHICH AFFECT THE SPEED AT WHICH CONCRETE
BEING POURED.
8

9. II. NOZZLE DESIGN
• NOZZLE DIAMETRE HAS DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE
CONCRETE MIX PROPERTIES,SPECIFICALLY ITS FLOWABILITY.
• AS DIAMETRE INCREASES FLOWABILITY OF MIX SHOULD BE
INCREASED.
• HAS TWO TROWELS ,A SIDE AND TOP TROWEL WHICH LAG
BEHIND IT FOR STRAIGHTEN THE CONCRETE.

10. III. MOTION ALONG THE AXES
• THE MACHINE IS DESIGNED TO MOVE ON A TRI-AXIAL
PLANE(X-Y-Z)
• THE NOZZLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PRINT ONE LINE ALONE ON
THE LONGITUDINAL AXIS(X-AXIS) AND MOVE ALONG THE
PRPENDICULAR AXIS(Y-AXIS).
• ABLE TO MOVE ALONG THE Z-AXIS TO PRINT LAYER APON
LAYER.
• VERICAL ELEMENT THAT SUPPORT MOBILE TANK AND NOZZLE
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOTION ALONG THE Z AXIS.
• OPERATED BOTH HYDRAULICALLY AND MANUALLY

13. COUNTOUR CRAFTING
• MATERIAL IS POURED LAYER BY LAYER
• WHOLE PROCESS IS TAKING PLACE ON SITE
• ALLOW TO CREATE LARGE COMPONENT WITH UNLIMITTED
ARCHETECTURAL FLEXIBILITY

14. RECENT EXAMPLES OF 3D
PRINTING
• WINSON COMPANY BUILDINGS

15. MERITS
• OPTIMIZING CONSTRUCTION TIME
• DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
• DOESNOT COMPROMISE STRUCTURAL STRENGTH
• ERROR REDUCTION
• ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS
• CONCEPT OF CONTOUR CRAFTING ALLOWS IN-SITU PRINTING
• REDUCED NUMBER OF INJURIES
• LESS MATERIAL WASTE
15

16. DEMERITS
• JOB RELATED ISSUES
• REQUIRE AREA FOR MOVABLE RETRACTABLE RAILS
• CANNOT PRINT ALL MATERIALS
• HIGHT LIMITATION FOR CONTOUR CRAFTING
16

17. CONCLUSIONS
• STILL YOUNG AND PRESENTS LOT OF LIMITATIONS
• NEW ARCHETECTURAL APPROACH TO BUILDING
DESIGN
• REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW MATERIALS
APPROPRIATE FOR 3D PRINTING
• ALLOWS CREATING BUILDING WITH COMPLICATED
SHAPES
