AMC - Additive Manufacturing in Construction

Welcome to the Channel of the Collaborative Research Centre TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) – The Challenge of Large Scale. The aim of TRR 277 is to create the basic conditions for the introduction of additive manufacturing in construction, and thus to pave the way for the use of resource-efficient constructions with a high level of design freedom. Additive manufacturing (AM) is a digitally controlled manufacturing technology with the potential to become a key technology for the digitalisation of the construction industry.The basic principle of AMC is that material is only applied where it fulfils a function. The consistent use of AM technologies in combination with building information modelling (BIM) allows manufacturing processes to be controlled by design, and light-weight, free-form and resourceefficient structures to set up.
