Additive Manufacturing Technology in Construction (AMTC)
Funder: BRIEFDuration: September 2018 - September 2019
Additive manufacturing (AM) of cementitious composites has been one of the emerging advanced technologies that aim to minimise the supply chain in the construction process through autonomous production of building components directly from digital models without human intervention and complicated formworks.
