Simultaneous Reinforcement of Concrete While 3D Printing

Project Year: 2019
Conducted For: Part of masters research.
Project Team: Omar Geneidy | Sujay Kumarji

Three Dimensional Printing (3DP) has been introduced into the construction industry for over two decades until now, However, the scaling up of the technology is currently stagnant due to some difficulties like printing horizontal or cantilever structures and printing structures over one floor heigh. This research is proposing a new process of reinforcing printed structures simultaneously while printing using a scalable, straightforward process. The process comprises of pushing multiple small wire profiles into printed layers. Together, the staples form an overall lattice structure that binds the printed layers together and compliments the overall structural soundness of the print during and after printing.
