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

4
CURRENT CONSTRUCTION
•Labor intensive
•Slow
•Dangerous
•Corrupt
•Over budget
•Low work quality
•Difficult to control

5
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..

CC -METHODOLOGY
•Planning and optimisation
•Defining tool path and nozzle control
•Operational facts
•Logistic issues
•Environmental impact
•Sustainability potential

16
HOUSE BUILDING PROCESS
Flattening of the surface

Excavation of trenches for foundation

CC runs on specially developed rails

17
Cross beam is provided to link the limbs

The raw material is pumped using


pipes

19
As the concrete hardens fast , it
provides the support for the other
layer

Window and ceilings are


laid using robotic arms

As the pre manufactured ceiling


is being laid it offers surface roof

EXTRATERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS
Case study 1-Construction on MARS & MOON by NASA

•To shield heat, cold, cosmic


rays and meteorite impact
•Landing and launching off
will be much safer
•Ability to construct support
less structures
•Ability to use in-situ

The reduction of construction duration by
Implementing contour crafting:

STUDY CARRIED OUT BY :Carel M. Rouhana and Farook R. Hamzeh

MODEL USED: single unit square shaped of size by EZStrobe

METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION: conventional construction method


and contour crafting
RESULT

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

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE

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
