3d printing of concrete

    3D printing of concrete

    3D printers are new generation of machine. They can produced different kinds of objective in different shapes and size. 3D printing is a type of addictive manufacturing technology where a three dimensional object is made.

        The 3D printing technology is used for both properties and distributed manufacturing in architectural, construction, industrial design, automotive, civil engineering etc.

How does 3D printer work?

    A 3D printer works by taking 3d computer file, from industrial standard software such as autocad and maya, and then a computing a large number of cross-sectional slices. Various phase of 3D mechanism.

   In the 1950 robotic bricklaying technology was conceptualized and explore and related in 1960s automated constriction began with plumped concrete and isoclynate foams.

   In early construction 3D printing development and research under way since 1995. A 3D  digital model of the item is created either by computer aided design(CAD) or using a 3D scanner. The printer lays down succesive layer of printing medium are joined or used to concrete them. These process can be sloe but it enable almost any shapes to be crated.

Benefits of 3D printing in construction.

• Reduce material usage 
• Saving 30% to 60% construction waste.
• Reduction production time 50% to 70% 
• Reduction construction  labour cost 50% to 80% 
• Environment freindly as recycled product or material are use.
• Possibilities of new shapes and design.

           Thank you all reader's......
