Nutrient-Enriched Soil Inks for 3D-Printed, Self-Healing Living Materials 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)....
Robotically 3D-Printed Earthen Walls Embedded with Living Organisms Description Eco-resilient Tectonics explores the development of living building materials (LBMs) through robotic 3D printing of earth-based substrates embedded with living organisms. LBMs offer a...
Print-Path Orientation as a Designable Structural Parameter in Large-Scale Robotic 3D Printing Description Additive manufacturing in building construction can be extended for mass customization of building components or even complex mold making. This study examines...
Curved-Layer Toolpaths for a Self-Supporting Thin-Shell Column Description Axisymmetric Column No. 1 is a self-supporting thin-shell column produced by large-scale robotic additive manufacturing, using curved-layer pellet extrusion to deposit short-carbon-fiber PLA...
A Parametric Design-to-Fabrication System for Robotically 3D-Printed Everyday Objects 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...
On-Site Soil Additive Manufacturing with a Mobile Robotic Platform 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....
Robotically 3D-Printed Soil Structures that Support Plant Life, from Proof-of-Concept Domes to Germinating Wall Systems This project investigates soil as a living construction medium by integrating robotic additive manufacturing with ecological performance. It begins...
