Concrete buildings are on the brink of a new phase of development if a new 3D printing process developed at the science and technology university ETH Zurich can be commercially applied.
In a recent experiment at the university, the printing process has been used to produce nine individually designed concrete columns.
The fabrication process allows the production of concrete elements without the need for any formwork. In addition, one-off designs with complex geometries can be fabricated in a fully automated manner.
