Description This study explores the feasibility of utilizing upcycled oyster shell (OS) waste in mycelium-based additive manufacturing to develop sustainable bio-composite materials. OS waste, predominantly composed of calcium carbonate, is generated in large volumes...
Description Building on the successful analysis and testing of OS biocomposite ink and robotic extrusion–based fabrication, the biocomposite inks were applied to architectural–scale composite panels. A...
Description This study develops nutrient-enriched soil composite inks for 3D printing, followed by mycelium colonization to create large-scale, mycelium-based living building materials (LBMs). The research focuses on enhancing the properties of 3D-printed soil...
Description Additive manufacturing in building construction can be extended for mass customization of building components or even complex mold making. This study examines the process parameters of raster orientation of short carbon fiber-reinforced polylactic acid...
Description Axisymmetric Column No. 1 exemplifies a novel approach to large-scale robotic additive manufacturing, utilizing curved-layer fused filament fabrication (CLFFF) on a pre-stretched textile. It explores how patterning affects CLFFF printing to develop a...
Chair No. 7: Human Parameters in Circular Design of Everyday Things Description In architectural design, the model of design to construction is constantly changing. One parameter in these permanent changes is human needs, most notably, the growing demand for...
Description Advancements in robotic technology are ushering in a new era of autonomy in building construction, making it possible to employ soil–based materials through circular additive manufacturing. Multi–material additive manufacturing (MMAM) encompasses a variety...
MyCoLab: Robotic Fabrication of Architectured Mycelium Composites for Sustainable Construction Description Increasing awareness of the embodied carbon footprint of buildings has shifted interest in the construction industry towards the development of renewable and...
