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

布伦瑞克技术大学（TUBS）和慕尼黑技术大学（TUM）的合作研究中心TRR 277增材制造建筑（TRR 277 AMC）正在研究增材制造在建筑行业的材料和工艺基础。与在连续工艺步骤中生产大量相同组件的工业批量生产相反，增材制造在连续的数字控制3D打印过程中生产组件，而无需预先模板。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度。TRR 277 AMC因此结合了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。在建筑领域，增材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造的新方式。TRR 277 AMC的研究重点是对不同材料和工艺组合的创新增材制造技术进行基础研究。基础研究是基于一种新的综合研究方法，其中结构设计，材料技术和制造工艺被视为不可分割的，数字网络化的单元，并进行连贯的研究。此外，各种AMC技术的接口，以前的规划环境和随后的施工现场进行了调查。这种整体数字网络方法为规划和建设之间的互动和基于数据的信息交换提供了全新的可能性。它还实现了整体数字化工作流程，以提高质量并缩短施工时间。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材料-工艺组合的研究。这些都伴随着密集的反馈，通过计算建模和新的结构设计方法。目标的一个重要延伸是减少材料、部件和结构系统不同层面的环境影响。最后，TRR 277为未来一代的年轻科学家提供了一个绝佳的空间，让他们在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.
