Abstract
The construction industry is one of the least digitalized sectors to date. In contrast to other production areas, the manufacture of buildings is characterized by individualized construction processes. Digital manufacturing technologies from other sectors of the economy have not become established in the construction industry as they do not enable the necessary individualization or are uneconomical. The advantages of additive manufacturing technologies are that automation and individualization are not in conflict with each other and that 3D printing only builds up material where it is structurally or functionally necessary. In this respect, additive manufacturing is both economical and resource-efficient. The DFG Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio TRR 277 of the two universities TU Braunschweig and TU Munich aims to conduct fundamental research into additive manufacturing technology for the construction industry and contribute to the digitalization of the construction industry. This article provides an overview of the objectives, structure and methods of TRR 277 as well as the three project areas with a total of 18 scientific sub-projects.
