Abstract

Digital fabrication with concrete has for more than a decade been of high interest in both research institutions and industries. A particular interest has been set on Contour Crafting, a type of layered extrusion with concrete, which in recent years has been used for the fabrication of single and multi-story buildings. However, these have been done with little proof of systematic integration of reinforcement, which until now still requires tedious post processing to obtain the structural capabilities required. Smart dynamic casting, a robotic fabrication process for standard and nonstandard vertical structures, has recently proven a systematic integration of reinforcement and is thereby the first digital fabrication process world-wide which has unified reinforcement and concreting in a single robotic fabrication process. This paper presents the latest developments and challenges of SDC and introduces the first architectural application in the form of structurally optimised façade mullions that are to be installed in the dfab House at the EMPA premises in Dübendorf, Switzerland.
