生产用于预制混凝土和GRC（玻璃钢筋混凝土）的复杂模板或模具的成本可能是从预制混凝土元件构建建筑意图时最重要的限制。我们的贡献FreeFABTM Wax 1采用了一个6轴龙门机器人，带有可互换的末端执行器工具，可以粗略地3D打印并随后以施工规模对混凝土复杂模具进行研磨。值得注意的是，FreeFAB模具可以高达30米x 4米x 1.5米，与传统模板相比，节省了大量时间和成本。此外，FreeFAB的打印材料接近100%可重复使用，几乎消除了过程中的浪费和材料成本。本文概述了我们的建筑规模3D打印方法及其实现。我们的研究结果表明，建筑规模的3D打印在商业上是可行的，并显着扩大了定制模具广泛使用的可行性。
The cost of producing complex formwork or moulds for precast concrete and GRC (glass reinforced concrete) is perhaps the most significant limitation when constructing architectural intentions from prefabricated concrete elements. Our contribution, FreeFABTM Wax 1 , employs a 6-axis gantry robot with interchangeable end effector tooling to coarsely 3D print and subsequently mill finish complex moulds for concrete at a construction scale. Significantly, FreeFAB moulds can be up to 30m x 4m x 1.5m with significant time and cost savings relative to traditional formwork. Furthermore, FreeFAB’s print material approaches 100% reusability, virtually eliminating waste and material costs within the process. This paper presents an overview of our method for construction scale 3D printing and its realisation. Our findings suggest a construction scale 3D printing is businessviable and significantly expands the feasibility of the wide spread use of bespoke moulds.
