Impresión 3D para la construcción: un enfoque basado en el procedimiento y los materiales

Recent Developments and Challenges of 3D-Printed Construction: A Review of Research Fronts

In the last few years, scattered experiences of the application of additive manufacturing in the construction of buildings using 3D printing with robots or automated equipment have emerged around the world. These use a variety of procedures and suggest relevant advantages for the construction industry. In order to identify the different processes and features in development in this field and to guide future research and applications, this article presents a review of the literature on the main aspects involved in the use of 3D printing in the construction sector. The review includes state-of-the-art material mixtures, printing technologies, and potential uses, as well as a novel analysis of building strategies, management systems, and benefits stated about this new approach for construction. It reveals progressive experimentation regarding diverse features, with challenges related to the consolidation of procedures and this technology’s readiness to participate in the building market.

Modelling the Process of Fused Deposition Modelling and the Effect of Temperature on the Mechanical, Roughness, and Porosity Properties of Resulting Composite Products

Advances in the additive manufacturing (AM) processes have opened up the possibilities of widely using them in various structural sectors. Since 1980s this technology has been in permanent mutations. The ramification of the AM technology makes it difficult to obtain a clear impression of its potentialities. Predicting and controlling the mechanical characteristics of printed products is crucial for their final practical use. This study mainly aims to characterize the impact of printing parameters on the characteristics of printed articles and to evaluate their significance.
