Earth Additive Manufacturing (EAM) – Material and Process Combinations for AM with Earth-Based Materials (A10*)

该项目旨在通过确定和研究能够实现地球增材制造（EAM）的特定材料和工艺参数，从根本上研究与地球材料的材料和工艺组合。首先，将根据粘土矿物的类型和数量，探索和分类适用于EAM工艺的土混合物。此外，还将研究粘土作为添加剂在水泥和混凝土增材制造中的应用。与土材料设计直接互动，AM材料加工的概念和实验研究将成为两种新型EAM工艺的重点，即：喷涂土增材制造（SEAM）和侵入土增材制造（IEAM）。

This project aims to fundamentally investigate material and process combinations with earth-based materials by identifying and investigating specific material and process parameters that enable Earth Additive Manufacturing (EAM). Firstly, applicable earth mixtures for EAM processes will be explored and classified depending on their type and amount of clay minerals. In addition, the application of clays as additives in cement and concrete AM will be investigated. In direct interaction with the earthen materials design, conception and experimental investigation of processing of the materials for AM will be the focus for two novel EAM processes, namely: Sprayed Earth Additive Manufacturing (SEAM) and Intrusion Earth Additive Manufacturing (IEAM).
