INTRODUCTION
•Current “cast-in-place” construction used in the field
since roman ages
•Remains labour intense
•Problems in the areas of productivity, quality, safety,
and skilled labour shortages
•To address these issues, various types of automation
and robotic technologies have been proposed and
implemented
•Require a paradigm shift in process technology

DEMAND FOR INNOVATION IN
CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES

CURRENT CONSTRUCTION
•Labor intensive
•Slow
•Dangerous
•Corrupt
•Over budget
•Low work quality
•Difficult to control

CONTOUR CRAFTING(CC)
6
CC
•Type of 3D printing technology
•“Additive fabrication” technology
•Building layer by layer
•Combination of extrusion and filling
•Uses CAD-CAM
•Do automated
plumbing, electrical
network etc..

ADVANTAGES OVER
CONVENTIONAL METHODS
The reduction of construction duration by
Implementing contour crafting:
duration of 29.54±0.065
duration of 90.52±2.12 hours
hours with a standard error
with a standard error of 0.067
of 0.002

COST REDUCTION BY CC
S NO. COST REASON VARIATION USING CONTOUR
PORTION% CRAFTING
1 20-25 FINANCING SHORT PROJECT LENGTH AND
CONTROL OF TIME TO
MARKET WILL DRAMATICALLY
REDUCE THE COST.
39
LIMITATIONS OF CC
•Employment issues
•Initial cost of machine is high
•Foundation need to
constructed conventionally
•Not suitable for high rise
buildings
40
CONCLUSION
•Immediate application in low income housing
•Emergency shelter construction
• Little or no material waste
•Construction of structures with exotic architectural
designs
•High speed and efficiency
•Promising new method in construction industry
