Concrete Printing: An Innovative Construction Process
T
he
introduction of highly sophisticated computing modelling technologies
has meant that designing of shape and form of a building is now only
limited by an architect’s imagination.
Leading architectural practices such as Foster&Partners are designing building to a level of geometrical _____ unheard 10 years ago. However all these forms can often be achieved through off set factory-based manufacturing techniques there are significant limits to levels of intricacy attainable. For example, pouring ______ into a framework can go some way to fulfilling these ambitions but the reality is that the achievable complexity is still limited.
The manufacturing process is required to turn these complex building designs into reality have remained elusive until now. This may be changed if current research by scientists of Loughborough ______ becomes common usage. The research has been inspired by 3-d printing and additive manufacturing process. Here information created from computer generated models is exported to the machine which then builds up a model or a component layer by ______. The virtual model is in fact materialized. Having modified cement and using powder and glue they are experimenting with concrete large-scale building components.

De Kestelier, Assosiate Partner, Forster+Partners: “The
research of Loughborough University gives the strain of
opportunities. They are able to have a real ticket to the future to
see what the building _______
will be in the next 5 or 10 years”.
Concrete printing works on a basis of a highly controlled intrusion of cement-based motor which is precisely positioned according to computer data. The process has the potential to create architecture which is more unique in form but crucially components do not have to be made of solid material and so can use resources more efficiently than _______ techniques.
Professor Simon Austin, Co-Investigator, Loughborough University: “We have large structures panels or walls with precisely controlled voids within them. For example, the section which you can _______ has been manufactured here could incorporate all the service requirements of a building such as pipes and cables in one unit”.
T
his
process is capable of producing building _______
to the degree of customization that has been seen yet and could
create an architecture adaptive to the environment and fully
integrative to its engineering function.
Imagine whole sections of a building being _______ and then assembled on the site with a service provision already installed. Above all, imagine a building with form and scale could take on limitless possibilities.
