Digital Fabrication with Concrete (DFC) encompasses 3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) and many other on-site and off-site fabrication methods. DFC is beginning to move from an era of invention and demonstration to one of reality. It has only been 15 years since inception and yet printing offices, houses and bridges are just some of the applications that are being demonstrated at full scale. But this is not all DFC has to offer. Some of the greatest challenges face the production and maintenance of the built environment to deliver continual improvement with less material and ever decreasing skilled labour. Automation of construction manufacturing will be critical if we are to realise Industry 4.0, providing greater productivity while reducing uncertainty and cost. DFC is at the vanguard of this aspiration and this session will take you through the technologies, the achievements and provide the future outlook for these techniques.
