(TU Delft Steel & Composite Structures) Borg Costanzi, C. (TU Delft Design of Constrution) Bos, Freek (Eindhoven University of Technology) Ahmed, Z (Eindhoven University of Technology) Wolfs, R. (Eindhoven University of Technology) Date 2017 Abstract It is no secret that there have been some great advances in the realm of concrete additive manufacturing. However, one of the major drawbacks of this fabrication technique is that the elements must be self-supporting during printing. While most other additive manufacturing materials can overcome this by using a secondary printed support structure, alternative strategies have to be developed for materials such as concrete.This 4TU project explores the possibilities of combining concrete additive manufacturing with a temporary support surface. By printing on a free-form surface, more intricate geometries can be realized. A number of potential applications have been outlined, however the principle focus is combining concrete additive manufacturing and casting. The end result is a partially-printed pavilion using a completely digital design-to-fabrication workflow.
