Introducing our BE-AM 2023 keynote speakers: Inka Mai (TU Berlin) will present their work in Injection 3D Concrete Printing – exploring new potentials in concrete 3D printing

The productivity of the construction industry is stagnating over the past decades. By using digital fabrication techniques, such as 3D printing with concrete, costs could be reduced by up to 45% and material usage by up to 70%. At the moment most of the projects in research and industrial applications focus on depositioning concrete via extrusion. Nevertheless, also other 3D printing techniques have their advantages and may even have further ecological benefits. On the example of Injection 3D Concrete Printing a look beyond “conventional” concrete extrusion is taken and potential applications are presented.
