TRR 277: Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) – The Opportunity for Large Impact

布伦斯韦格工业大学(TUBS)和慕尼黑工业大学(TUM)的建筑添加剂制造合作研究中心TRR 277建筑添加剂制造(TRR 277 AMC)正在研究建筑行业跨材料和工艺的添加剂制造基础。与工业系列化生产不同，在工业系列化生产中，大量相同的部件是在连续的工艺步骤中生产的，而添加制造在连续的、数字控制的3D打印工艺中生产部件，而不需要事先的模板。这减少了工艺步骤的数量，并为部件和结构的个性化和形状优化设计创造了新的自由。因此，TRR 277 AMC结合了施工中自动化和个性化的要求。此外，AMC技术实现了结构设计的范式转变：形状优化和功能集成不再受模板的限制，而是可以根据技术要求以最少的资源进行生产。在建筑方面，添加剂制造技术有可能将生态和经济结合起来，并展示我们未来如何建设的新方法。TRR 277 AMC的研究重点是不同材料和工艺组合的创新添加剂制造技术的基础研究。基础研究基于一种新的综合研究方法，将结构设计、材料技术和制造过程视为不可分割的、数字化的网络单元，并进行连贯的研究。此外，还对各种AMC技术与之前的规划环境和随后的施工现场的接口进行了研究。这种整体的数字联网方法为规划和施工之间的互动和基于数据的信息交换提供了全新的可能性。它还使整体数字工作流程能够提高质量和缩短施工时间。TRR 277 AMC在第二个资助期的基础研究重点是深入研究第一个资助期项目的材料-工艺相互作用以及新的材料-工艺组合的研究。伴随而来的是通过计算模型和新的结构设计方法进行的密集反馈。这些目标的一个重要延伸是减少对材料、部件和结构系统的不同水平的环境影响。最后，TRR 277为下一代年轻科学家提供了一个极好的空间，让他们在他们特定的研究领域和跨学科合作中获得新的见解和交流思想。

The Collaborative Research Centre TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (TRR 277 AMC) of the Technical University of Braunschweig (TUBS) and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) is researching the fundamentals of additive manufacturing for the construction industry across materials and processes. In contrast to industrial series production, in which large numbers of identical components are produced in sequential process steps, additive manufacturing produces the component in a continuous, digitally controlled 3D printing process without prior formwork. This reduces the number of process steps and creates new freedom for the individual and shape-optimised design of components and structures. TRR 277 AMC thus combines the requirements of automation and individualisation in construction. Furthermore, AMC technologies enable a paradigm shift in structural design: shape optimisations and functional integrations are no longer limited by formwork, but can be produced according to technical requirements with a minimum of resources. In construction, additive manufacturing technologies have the potential to unite ecology and economy and to show new ways of how we build in the future. The research of TRR 277 AMC focuses on fundamental investigations of innovative additive manufacturing technologies in different material and process combinations. The basic research is based on a novel integrative research approach in which structural design, material technologies and manufacturing processes are viewed as inseparable, digitally networked units and researched coherently. In addition, the interfaces of the various AMC technologies to the preceding planning environments and subsequent construction sites are investigated. This holistic digitally networked approach offers completely new possibilities for interaction and the exchange of data-based information between planning and construction. It also enables holistic digital workflows to improve quality and shorten construction time. The basic research of the TRR 277 AMC in the 2nd funding period focuses on the in-depth investigations of material-process interactions of projects of the 1st funding period as well as the research of new material-process combinations. These are accompanied by intensive feedback through computational modelling and new structural design approaches. An important extension of the objectives is the reduction of environmental impacts at the different levels of materials, components and structural systems. Finally, TRR 277 provides an excellent space for the future generation of young scientists to gain new insights and exchange ideas, both in their specific field of research and in interdisciplinary collaboration.
