CONPrint3D: 3D printing with concrete

Scientists at TU Dresden are developing a 3D printing processes with concrete. With the innovative technology “CONPrint3D“ 3D printing is transferred to the construction industry. Entire building structures can be created directly on the site by applying a fast hardening special concrete layer by layer via printing device. The mobile large scale manipulator for positioning the print head is based on conventional machine concepts. Shuttering work can be dispensed, which optimises material and personnel deployment. Winner of the bauma Innovation Prize 2016 in the “Research“ category.
