Robotics in Construction - 3D Printing Technology
Group Members:
Grig Papadourakis
Rikki Moore
Taylor Castonguay
Deliverables:
The main deliverable of our project will be a comprehensive research paper that looks into 3D printing of concrete and its capabilities & potential for the future. The format of the paper will follow the general outline below:
- Abstract - +/- 250 Words
- Summation of our research findings & conclusions.
- Introduction - 250 Words
- Introduce project & identify 3-D Printing of building materials such as concrete.
- History - 300 Words
- Brief history of general 3-D printing and how it has advanced over time.
- Topic 1: Technological aspects of 3-D printing concrete.
- (Rikki) - 1,000 Words
- Topic 2: Current applications of 3-D printing using concrete and sustainability concepts.
- (Taylor)- 1,000 Words
- Topic 3: Economical Effects/Social Repercussions.
- (Grig)- 1,000 Words
- Future Opportunities - 500 Words
- Concrete printing in the future?
- Larger Scale?
- Expanding to other materials?
- Conclusion - 200 Words
Timeline:
Weeks 5 & 6 - Research & Rough Drafting
Week 7 - Prepare 75% Draft Report
Week 8 & 9 - Finish and Fine Tune Paper
Week 10 - Prepare PowerPoint Presentation for class.
The goal with this project is to dig deeper into a type of building technology that is at most times turned down due to feasibility in real life projects. It is our aim to show that 3D Printing Concrete is a valid building/construction technology that only has the potential to advance in the future.

I like that he provided a well thought out list of exactly what he wants to do for his project. I also like the fact that he is choosing to expand on the project by modeling an existing Drexel building. In my opinion as a rather experienced revit user myself, attempting to model an entire building and its systems is a great way to learn the in's and out's of Revit. My only advice would be that he is prepared to spend a lot of time troubleshooting issues that occur because they are not always easy, outright fixes.

The idea of looking into green building and intelligent technology is one that is constantly looked at in today's engineering world. I am interested to see what Liang's research will show because these are technologies that could potentially have a great effect on not only green buildings in the future, but also general buildings themselves. I think it will prove for a very interesting and important comparison.

I like that Drew and Derek plan to build on their A2 Database project. I think their idea is very intuitive and is a great way to look into the interoperability issue that we face with BIM software today. I look forward to seeing the final outcome of their project. I think they have a great plan that should set them up to do well on the assignment.
