Additive manufacturing of concrete in construction: potentials and challenges of 3D concrete printing

Freek Bos, Rob Wolfs, Zeeshan Ahmed et al. · 2 Jul 2016

Additive manufacturing is gaining ground in the construction industry. The potential to improve on current construction methods is significant. One of such methods being explored currently, both in academia and in construction practice, is the additive manufacturing of concrete (AMoC). Albeit a steadily growing number of researchers and private enterprises active in this field, AMoC…

3D printing of smart materials: A review on recent progresses in 4D printing

Zhong Xun Khoo, Joanne Ee Mei Teoh, Yong Liu et al. · 3 Jul 2015

Additive manufacturing (AM), commonly known as three-dimensional (3D) printing or rapid prototyping, has been introduced since the late 1980s. Although a considerable amount of progress has been made in this field, there is still a lot of research work to be done in order to overcome the various challenges remained. Recently, one of the actively…

3D printing trends in building and construction industry: a review

Yi Wei Daniel Tay, Biranchi Panda, Suvash Chandra Paul et al. · 14 May 2017

Three-dimensional (3D) printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is an advanced manufacturing process that can produce complex shape geometries automatically from a 3D computer-aided design model without any tooling, dies and fixtures. This automated manufacturing process has been applied to many diverse fields of industries today due to significant advantages of creating functional prototypes in…

Multiple material additive manufacturing – Part 1: a review

Mohammad Vaezi, Srisit Chianrabutra, Brian Mellor et al. · 1 Mar 2013

Interest in multifunctional structures made automatically from multiple materials poses a challenge for today's additive manufacturing (AM) technologies; however the ability to process multiple materials is a fundamental advantage to some AM technologies. The capability to fabricate multiple material parts can improve AM technologies by either optimising the mechanical properties of the parts or providing…

Virtual and Physical Prototyping template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Virtual and Physical Prototyping format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Virtual and Physical Prototyping template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Taylor & Francis format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Virtual and Physical Prototyping use?
