3D design and 3D printing opportunities for construction, installation and facility management markets. This is part of a presentation by Nanning de Jong (Super Tangible) for Strukton Worksphere.
3D printers have the potential to significantly impact the field of civil engineering both technically and economically. Technically, 3D printers allow for greater architectural freedom and more complex building designs that were previously limited by expensive construction techniques. They can create structures out of materials like plastic, metal, and concrete. Economically, the 3D printing industry is growing rapidly and expected to generate billions in revenue worldwide in the coming years. 3D printing may revolutionize the construction industry by enabling the computer-designed and computer-built production of entire buildings in a more efficient and affordable manner.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process where 3D objects are created by laying down successive layers of material. There are various methods of 3D printing including stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and fused deposition modeling. The document discusses applications of 3D printing in construction industry such as printing entire buildings, houses, and interior elements layer by layer. Specifically, it describes a process called contour crafting that has printed walls using concrete and a company that has printed 10 houses in a single day using recycled materials. The future of 3D printing in construction may allow printing large structures through assembly of prefabricated parts.
A complete illustrated ppt on 3D printing technology. All the additive processes,Future and effects are well described with relevant diagram and images.Must download for attractive seminar presentation.3D Printing technology could revolutionize and re-shape the world. Advances in 3D printing technology can significantly change and improve the way we manufacture products and produce goods worldwide. If the last industrial revolution brought us mass production and the advent of economies of scale - the digital 3D printing revolution could bring mass manufacturing back a full circle - to an era of mass personalization, and a return to individual craftsmanship.
3D printing allows architects to test design concepts faster by creating physical models layer by layer directly from digital files, saving weeks of time compared to traditional modeling. It reduces costs by up to 75% and produces models for a few thousand dollars that previously cost $100,000. Architects can now 3D print fully functional metal structures like bridges that would be nearly impossible to construct by hand.
This document provides an overview of 3D printing technology. It discusses what 3D printing is, how the process works by creating a virtual design and then layering materials, and some common methods and technologies used like selective laser sintering and fused deposition modeling. Applications mentioned include rapid prototyping to save time and costs as well as personal printing. The document also notes the industry is growing and will change manufacturing and commerce, while challenges include costs, limited materials per machine, standard file formats, and printing speed.
The document contains various quotes about new technologies from different historical periods, many of which doubted or dismissed the potential of those technologies. Some quotes predicted technologies like airplanes, computers, and the internet would not be useful or successful. Other quotes highlighted how new technologies like chalkboards, radios, and TVs were initially not fully utilized or understood by teachers but could potentially enhance education. The document suggests schools have been slow to adopt new technologies but change comes from supporting existing classroom environments, not from technologies alone.

3D concrete printing is an innovative construction method that promises to be highly advantageous in the construction field in terms of optimizing construction time, cost, design flexibility, error reduction, and environmental aspects. Concrete is extruded through a nozzle to build structural components layer-by-layer without the use of formwork or any subsequent vibration. The contribution of this study is to identify and resolve the various design and operational constraints of
3D concrete printing, which are of vital importance for future development of this construction technique. This paper broaches the topic in two different phases: designing the printing machine on one hand, and designing the concrete mix to be used on the other.
This document discusses 3D printing technology used to construct large buildings. It describes a massive 3D printer with a build volume of 12m x 12m x 12m that was used to print houses and other structures in China. The printer extrudes a mix of cement and recycled materials layer by layer. It weighs over 120 tons and took 6 months to develop. 3D printing allows construction to be done faster, cheaper, and more sustainably by recycling waste materials. Large buildings like skyscrapers are expected to be built this way in the future.

The shrouds allowed the architect's smooth design to be achieved and changes could be made until the day of manufacturing. The document discusses the future opportunities of 3D printing in construction such as printing more materials, larger sizes, and on-site solutions.
World population is growing continuously with more people living on the Earth than ever before. In 2007, humanity’s total ecological footprint was estimated at 1.5 planet Earths. Resources are becoming increasingly valuable as the Earth is the only source till date and others planets are still to become a viable source of these resources.
Projections estimate that we will need the equivalent of two planets by 2030 to meet our annual demands. The only way, we can reduce our footprint is by producing more with less, and consuming better, wiser and less - the way forward is better and 'frugal' choices!
In this report, we present the trends that encourage better choices; trends in Frugal Innovations, 'Jugaad' and Do-It-Yourself are explored to see how and where we can make our better choices for the future.
We conclude our report with 3 thought provoking future scenarios.

The 30 St Mary Axe building in London, also known as "The Gherkin", provides 500,000 square feet of flexible office space in its circular 40-floor design. Its unique shape minimizes wind load and maximizes natural light and ventilation. The building uses sustainable design features like operable windows, solar blinds, and natural ventilation 40% of the year to reduce energy consumption by 50%. Completed in 2003, it has become an iconic symbol of London's financial district.
The document provides an overview of 3D printing including its history, working principles, types of printing processes, and conclusions about its use. It discusses how 3D printing has gained importance in manufacturing over the past decade as an additive process. The working principle involves forming a 3D model, printing the model layer-by-layer, and finishing the model. Different printing types are described like stereolithography, laminated object manufacturing, and fused deposition modeling. In conclusion, 3D printing is positioned to become more widely used for prototyping and production, though challenges around quality and intellectual property protection remain.

An oil spill is the release of liquid petroleum into the environment, especially marine areas, due to human activity. It pollutes the environment and is difficult to clean up, sometimes taking weeks, months or years. Oil spills negatively impact local industries, human health, marine ecosystems, vegetation, beaches, and fragile marine environments. They affect tourism and fishing industries and can cause respiratory issues and health problems for humans. The impacts depend on factors like the area affected, weather and proximity to breeding areas. Oil can smother and poison animals and plants, damaging habitats and food chains. Cleanup methods include booming, burning, spreading chemicals, skimming, using sorbents, and manual labor. Some major oil spills were the
This document discusses bubble deck slabs, which are reinforced concrete slabs that replace inactive concrete in the center with hollow plastic spheres. Bubble deck slabs offer several advantages over traditional slabs and hollow core slabs, including reduced weight, increased strength, ability to span longer distances, faster construction time, and reduced material usage. Experimental studies showed bubble deck slabs have 80% of the shear strength and the same deflections as solid deck slabs, but weigh 40% less. The slabs also offer benefits for construction, engineering, the environment, and economics. The first high-rise building to use bubble deck slabs was the 131m tall Millennium Tower in Rotterdam.
3D printing involves using digital files and additive processes to create physical objects by laying down successive layers of material. It starts with a 3D digital design which is then sliced into layers and used by the 3D printer to extrude or bind material to build the final object layer by layer. There are several technologies used in 3D printing including selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM). 3D printing has applications in industries like healthcare for prosthetics, aerospace for aircraft parts, and automotive for prototypes. As technologies advance, 3D printing is expected to significantly impact manufacturing.
