Challenges for a traditional material on the way into the future
Additive production, sometimes simply called 3D printing, is often referred to as the third industrial revolution, as it offers the potential to fundamentally change traditional production methods. Particularly in the construction sector – where every building, owing to different local conditions, is more or less unique – additive production has the potential to become a key technology in digitization [1]. In additive production, the material is used only where it fulfills its function. This approach differs fundamentally from conventional construction methods that combine precast elements...
