Modern masonry construction finds itself in a cyclical pattern of "more of the same," insisting on standardized, basic designs consisting of little more than uniform stones laid in regular courses, which do little to add to the variability of the modem world. While these forms attain a surety in structural stability, they offer little in the form of variable aesthetics. 3D-printing, consistently hailed as one of the most promising developments of the 21 " century, allowing individuals from every walk of life to create and produce in real time, has, contrarily, failed to grasp our greater aspirations in the field of Architecture. Most attempts at the incorporation of 3D-printing technology in Architecture have simply been to scale the technologies to print larger and larger objects, eventually working up to entire buildings. While these efforts are beneficial in some ways, they consist of numerous drawbacks which make these types of strategies ultimately implausible, at least for the moment. Modern construction, once thought to be secure in its standards of structure and implementation, is now being challenged to develop designs far more elaborate than their "glass tower" counterparts by pushing the boundaries of what architectural moves are possible. The long held beliefs that stone must be orthogonal and uniform to be utilized in large-scale construction projects are being revamped in the wake of the 3D printing boom. This thesis seeks to find a synthesis between these two methods of modern construction, unifying the versatility and variability of 3D-printing and the stability and natural aesthetic of masonry, to create viable and aesthetically appealing architectural forms for the 2 1st century.

This thesis project is a speculative proposal; it assumes that 3D printing technology is a major manufacturing and construction method in the future. The industrial revolution that has begun in the 19th century was the transition to a new manufacturing process. This transition included going from hand production to machine production and eventually changed the entire way of making things, buying things, moving things, and etc. The changes of our life led to the transformation of our cities. Current cities were formed based on the Industrial Supply Chain that enables flow of materials and products from supplier to customer. This supply chain decided locations of factories, retails, roads, ports, warehouses, and etc that have structured cities. In recent years, 3D printing has attracted increasing attention. The prospect of printing machines has inspired enthusiasts to proclaim that 3D printing will bring "the next industrial revolution", while others have reacted with skepticism and point to the technology's current limitations. However, 3D printing could proliferate rapidly over the coming decade. Improvements in speed and performance could enable unprecedented levels of mass customization, simplified supply chains, and even the "democratization" of manufacturing as consumers begin to print their own products. Although there has been a number of studies on the 3D Printing technology itself and its impact on economy, less attentions have been paid to its spatial impact or impact on our cities. As the industrial revolution transformed cities, 3D Printing is expected to change our current cities in many ways, as it will change the way of making, moving, buying things again. The fact that 3D Printing can be done near the point of consumption, implies several possible scenarios of future cities This thesis illustrates different degrees of influence of the technology in the city of Sana'a, Yemen. The city has four distinct areas currently: the historical world heritage site, a partially protected area, a modernized area, and an informal settlement. The four distinct areas will be changed in different ways by different uses of 3D printing technology. The tower house, which is one of the most significant building typologies of the city, is used to examine and compare the influences of the technology. More specifically, the ornament of the tower house and possible scenarios of transformation are the main design focus of the project. Ornament will appear in different scales and configurations in the future city of Sana'a, from high resolution ornament to inhabitable ornament.

Full textThe project aims to propose a direction for how additive manufacturing methods can influence architecture, to study the techniques and find out which direction could be perceived as most rewarding or viable. How to use the potential of the new technology in a good way? I have tried to develop a product that utilizes the potential of the additive manufacturing methods and which is conceivable for full-scale realization in the construction sector in the near future. The product consists of a method for producing long lasting sandwich constructions with high wood content. The method reduces the building industry's climate impact and can provide great spatial qualities and design possibilities. Through physical experiments and exploration of various digital fabrication methods, I have tried to visualize and identify possibilities with these new technological aids. Through practical tests, I have tested my ideas of how these methods can be used effectively. The project was expanded from initially studying additive production methods to, later during the application phase, also include digital aids such as photogrammetry and tools for parametric design. The project has resulted in a strategy for printing cellulose-based sandwich constructions in printed molds of recyclable biocomposite.

This work, supported by the Media Lab Consortium, evaluates the design of a Variable Impedance Prosthetic (VIPr) socket for a transtibial amputee using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Compliant features are seamlessly integrated into a 3D printed socket to achieve lower interface peak pressures over bony protuberances by using anthropomorphic data acquired through surface scanning and magnetic resonance imaging techniques. An inverse linear mathematical transformation spatially maps quantitative measurements (bone tissue depth) of the human residual limb to the corresponding socket shape and impedance characteristics. The CAD/CAM VIPr socket is compared to a state-of-the-art prosthetic socket of similar internal geometry and shape, designed by a prosthetist using conventional methods. An active, bilateral transtibial male amputee of weight 70 kg walks on a force plate loaded 5-meter walkway, at self-selected speeds while synchronized ground reaction forces, motion capture data and socket residual limb interface pressures are measured for the evaluated sockets. We anticipated a decreased average interface pressure (measured using the Teksan F-SocketTM pressure sensors) in the VIPr socket, especially over stiff anatomical landmarks including the fibula head, the tibia, lateral and medial femoral condyles and medial tibial flare. Contact interface pressure recorded during stance of a complete gait cycle indicated a 15% and 17% reduction at toe-off and heel-strike respectively at the fibula head while the subject uses a VIPr socket in comparison to a conventional socket of similar internal shape. A corresponding 7% and 8% reduction in pressure is observed along the tibia. Similar trends of high-pressure reductions are observed during stair ascent trials with the VIPr socket.

Full textSyfte: Det finns idag begränsningar för vad som är möjligt att utforma och faktiskt producera. I industriellt byggande ligger fokus på standardisering som försvårar ett individuellt formspråk, vilket kan anses vara en arkitektonisk kvalitet. Potentialen för 3D-printing växer, vilket gynnar utformningsfriheten. Målet var att utvärdera hur 3D-printing i Sverige idag skulle kunna öka arkitektens möjligheter vid utformning och vara produktionsanpassat. Metod: I en fallstudie på Tengbom i Jönköping, ingick intervjuer med tre arkitekter. Utöver detta har en litteraturstudie, telefonintervju och en fokusgrupp legat till grund för insamlat material. Som ett inledande skede genomfördes en fokusgrupp, vilken resulterade i aktörers åsikter om 3D-printing. Arkitektintervjuerna bidrog med hög trovärdighet gällande arkitektoniska kvaliteter, vilket tillsammans med övriga insamlingsmetoder gav svar på studiens frågeställningar. Resultat: Studien visar att det är möjligt att skriva ut byggkomponenter i Sverige. Dock är det inte möjligt att med 3D-printing tillverka hela byggnader. Det kan påvisas att det finns hinder för införandet av tekniken, så som ekonomi, svensk lagstiftning samt bristande kunskap. Dessa bör ses över för att möjliggöra 3D-printing som tillverkningsmetod. I och med Rapid Ornament Production kan större arkitektoniska kvaliteter främjas, där 3D-printing möjliggör unika lösningar. Lösningar ingen annan teknik kan åstadkomma. Konsekvenser: Kundanpassad och varierad bebyggelse kan åstadkommas tack vare 3D-printing. Byggkomponenter så som, lättväggar, ornament och detaljer kan tillverkas i Sverige idag. En fördel med 3D-printing som teknik, är att den ger större frihet mellan projektering och produktion. För vidare utveckling av 3D-printing rekommenderas ökad kunskap för branschens aktörer gällande ritverktygen samt 3D-printings-tekniken. Begränsningar: Resultatet är applicerbart för arkitekter, verksamma vid arkitektkontor av liknande storlek som Tengbom i Jönköping. Det har inte genomförts djupare studier gällande utskriftstekniker, ekonomi, material, tid eller juridik. Fallstudie som undersökningsstrategi innebär en tolkning av åsikter, vilket begränsar generaliseringen av resultatet. Nyckelord: 3D-printing, utformning, produktion, arkitektoniska kvaliteter, möjligheter, begränsningar, industriellt byggande.

Full textAs did the PC and the Internet for the information and communication realms, Additive Manufacturing (FA) is revolutionizing the design and manufacturing processes, opening up a new production paradigm that generates significant changes and innovations in many areas. Its current impact on other sectors suggests that AM has the same potential to transform the production processes of architecture and construction. The author thus wonders what kind of changes can it generate and whether they will imply a productive paradigm shift that is equally disruptive in these two fields. To answer both questions, this thesis offers a critical assessment of the potential of AM applied to architecture, analyzing its impact on the design and construction processes. The first part includes a cross-sectional study of several activity sectors, which allows seeing how this technology is generating radical transformations, with social, economic and environmental implications at a global scale. The second part analyses the adaptation of AM to the specific conditions of architecture. The thesis presents the pioneering initiatives of its application at largescale, and the projects directed by the author in the academic context, which investigate what processes are necessary to implement this technology to and from the architectural project. These experimental and multidisciplinary works combine the research of new materials, the creation of custom devices and the programming of specific design codes. The synthesis of the results is later used as a reference to identify and assess the current progress in implementing AM technologies in architecture, worldwide. Altogether, the thesis demonstrates that research in this field is currently in full swing. Moreover, the most recent applications also indicate that AM is on track to generate significant changes, which represents the beginning of a new paradigm for architectural design and construction.

Full textAdditive manufacturing impacts the traditional skills of the foundry profession. New machines depositing layer by layer sand and binder allow a manufacturing of custom foundry tools, unitary, and more complex. In this thesis, we are interested in the development of new methodologies for the design of molds and cores for sand foundries. The reflection takes into account the geometrical design, the design constraints, the constraints of additive manufacturing and foundry techniques. A first chapter describes the state of the art, indicating that research opportunities are to be seized. The second chapter proposes a design methodology for optimizing the mass and controlling the mold’s cooling speed by varying - - the thickness and local thermal conductivity of the mold. A third chapter deals with the study of the thermal impact by the architecture of the walls.The fourth chapter offers a cluster design methodology, allowing the optimization of the compactness of the manufacturing build volume. This method also proposes a novel design by nesting the casting sprues. Finally, the fifth chapter proposes to overcome the problem of hot spots by using multi-material additive manufacturing.To support these chapters, tests of thermal conductivity, mechanical resistance, simulations, manufacturing, casting, and analyzes are carried out. Thus, these new manufacturing guidelines will benefit the founders of tomorrow

O seu aproveitamento e aplicabilidade, revela-se não só, para projetar, como para o representar. Para além da realidade virtual, da realidade aumentada, das imagens a 360 graus, e da prototipagem rápida, tem-se revelado uma nova abertura para um espaço de uma grande utilidade prática que é a fabricação de maquetas e peças que possuem uma geometria, de difícil de construção, segundo o método usual e corrente. Existem algumas diferenças entre as maquetas de montagem manual e as de prototipagem rápida. No mercado existem três máquinas geralmente utilizadas por ateliers de arquitetura, são: a fresa ou tupia, a cortadora laser, e a impressora 3D. Atualmente já existem impressoras 3D a preços acessíveis, mas as dimensões com que estão capacitadas para reproduzir objetos, são reduzidas. O seu volume de trabalho, face às escalas usadas na Arquitetura, torna-se ineficaz. A presente dissertação, visa no interesse da Arquitetura, criar uma ferramenta multifuncional capaz de melhorar a eficiência, a eficácia e a qualidade de trabalho de um arquiteto, na produção de maquetas de objetos arquitetónicos.

If the project is using the new technologies, the offering answers and solutions are more pragmatic. Its utilization, and applicability is revealed not only to project, but also to represent it. In addition to virtual reality, augmented reality, 360-degree images, and of rapid prototyping, a new opening has been revealed for a space of great practical utility, which is the manufacture of models and pieces that have a geometry, difficult to construct, according to the usual and current method. There are some differences between analog or manual production models and rapid prototyping models. In the market there are three machines generally used by architecture offices, they are: the milling cutter, the cutter, and the 3D printer. There are now affordable 3D printers, but the dimensions with which they are able to reproduce objects are very small. Its workload, compared to the scales used in Architecture, becomes ineffective. The aim of this dissertation is to create a multifunctional tool capable of improving the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of work of an architect in the production of models of architectural objects.

Find full textAdditive Manufacturing (AM) allows for the creation of elements with novel forms and functions. Utilizing AM in development of components of civil infrastructure allows for achieving more advanced, innovative, and unique performance characteristics. The research presented in this dissertation is focused on development of a better understanding of the fabrication challenges and opportunities in AM of cement-based materials. Specifically, challenges related to printability and opportunities offered by 3D-printing technology, including ability to fabricate intricate structures and generate unique and enhanced mechanical responses have been explored. Three aspects related to 3D-printing of cement-based materials were investigated. These aspects include: fresh stability of 3D-printed elements in relation to materials rheological properties, microstructural characteristics of the interfaces induced during the 3D-printing process, and the mechanical response of 3D-printed elements with bio-inspired design of the materials’ architecture. This research aims to contribute to development of new pathways to obtain stability in freshly 3D-printed elements by determining the rheological properties of material that control the ability to fabricate elements in a layer-by-layer manner, followed by the understanding of the microstructural features of the 3D-printed hardened cement paste elements including the interfaces and the pore network. This research also introduces a new approach to enhance the mechanical response of the 3D-printed elements by controlling the spatial arrangement of individual filaments (i.e., materials’ architecture) and by harnessing the weak interfaces that are induced by the 3D-printing process.
