Abstract

The growing pressure on natural resources and the increase in demand for construction materials highlight for the construction industry the relevance of opening space for constructive alternatives and materials with less environmental impact. Additive manufacturing has developed through various technologies, materials and scales. 3D printing for construction has grown significantly. An obvious challenge for this technology corresponds to the geometric-constructive solutions that involve other materials for mechanical reinforcement. This research works over the initial development of a construction system based on clay paste reinforced with vegetable ropes, which uses additive manufacturing protocols. Through constructive experiments that integrate string reinforcements into 3d print. The lines of work operate in: Design of architectural elements, Programming of constructive robotic routines, Rheological study of printable clay and fiber pastes and Design of effectors for extrusion of pastes.
