background
Additive manufacturing strategies are transferred to large-scale building components made of concreate. Additive manufactoring methods heretofore known in the state of the art are extruding concrete strands and particle bed printing.
Innovation / Solution
The technology according to the invention is fundamentally based on the principle of additive manufacturing in a liquid. This method is intended to solve both the problem of spatial shaping, the weakened contact surface between the horizontal layers, as well as the integration of the reinforcement in tensile loaded areas of concrete components. In "Injection 3D Concrete Printing", a liquid is firstly used, which among others has the same density as concrete, placed in a container. The properties of this liquid are adjusted so that it acts as a support liquid for the still uncured concrete mass and thus as a formative formwork. The concrete is injected into the liquid-filled container and then "hang" in the liquid it is cured.Benefits
Free shaping of concrete components by means of additive manufacturing technology
Efficient production of stress path optimized concrete components
New possibilities for integrating reinforcements and setting locally differentiated material properties in concrete components
