The Government's Industrial Strategy highlights the need for the construction industry to embrace digitally-driven, automated manufacturing if it is going to deliver the planned infrastructure development, building and renovation of the built environment. The group funded through this award understands this need and envisages an industry that routinely deploys digitally-driven, off-site-manufacturing technologies to deliver customised and unique precision components to enable the rapid, just-in-time assembly of the built environment. Seamless digital workflow and accurate process simulation will reduce the time from design to product from weeks to hours, delivering buildings faster. It will facilitate the optimisation of components, removing unwanted material (reduced resource use and embedded CO2), designing out interfaces and reducing assembly time and complexity, both during installation and at end of life. 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) is a digitally-driven, off-site manufacturing technology that is establishing itself worldwide as a viable manufacturing process, but its potential beyond aesthetic objects is fundamentally limited by the manufacturing tolerances achievable. The work undertaken by this group will develop the next generation, Hybrid Concrete Printing (or HCP), technology that uses 3DCP to create a near-net-shape (an object slightly larger than the desired object) and then uses subtractive process (cutting, milling and drilling) to remove a small amount of material to create the net-shape - the desired object to sub-millimetre precision. HCP technology will enable the intelligent integration of building performance and energy production and storage technologies, freed from traditional constraints on form and finish. This will unlock the potential for accurate interfaces and assemblies and, hence, open the gateway for a revolution in design and manufacture of buildings and the wider built environment. The team will develop research that answers three central goals of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund's Transforming Construction initiative:- Designing and managing buildings: We will develop and promote new design tools and design capabilities for UK design practise that will create globally marketable expertise;- Constructing quality buildings: HCP, a digitally-driven off-site manufacturing technology, will realise greater precision in manufacture than is currently possible, enabling repeatable, high quality components to be manufactured with a much shorter lead-time; and,- Powering buildings: The technology gives the designer close control of surface finish and component geometry, enabling them to add value through function and to design in order to integrate other active components as part of automated assembly.

政府的工业战略强调，如果建筑业要实现计划中的基础设施开发、建筑和建筑环境的改造，就需要接受数字驱动的自动化制造。通过该奖项资助的团队了解这一需求，并设想一个常规部署数字驱动的非现场制造技术的行业，以提供定制和独特的精密部件，从而实现建筑环境的快速，及时装配。无缝的数字化工作流程和精确的过程模拟将把从设计到产品的时间从数周缩短到数小时，从而更快地交付建筑物。它将促进组件的优化，去除不需要的材料（减少资源使用和嵌入的CO2），设计接口并减少安装期间和寿命结束时的组装时间和复杂性。3D混凝土打印（3DCP）是一种数字驱动的非现场制造技术，在全球范围内建立了自己的可行制造工艺，但其超越美学对象的潜力从根本上受到可实现的制造公差的限制。该小组的工作将开发下一代混合混凝土打印（或HCP）技术，该技术使用3DCP创建近净形状（略大于所需对象的对象），然后使用减材工艺（切割，铣削和钻孔）去除少量材料以创建净形状-所需对象达到亚毫米精度。HCP技术将使建筑性能与能源生产和储存技术的智能集成成为可能，摆脱了传统的形式和完成的限制。这将释放精确接口和组件的潜力，从而为建筑设计和制造以及更广泛的建筑环境的革命打开大门。该团队将开展研究，以回答工业战略挑战基金转型建设倡议的三个核心目标：-设计和管理建筑：我们将开发和推广新的设计工具和设计能力，为英国设计实践创造全球市场的专业知识;-建造优质建筑：HCP是一种数字驱动的非现场制造技术，将实现比目前更高的制造精度，高质量的部件将在更短的交货时间内制造出来;以及，-为建筑物供电：该技术使设计师能够密切控制表面光洁度和部件几何形状，使他们能够通过功能增加价值，并设计以集成其他活动部件作为自动化装配的一部分。
