Are you
played off in printing with plastic ? Let go for the real thing…….
Concrete
We have
got an industrial robot (Kuka) and we have developed a suitable
concrete mix which can be 3D printed.If you want
to make complex shape in concrete you need to make a mold, this is a
fairly time costly method to make something with concrete.
3D printing
gives the opportunity to work freeform with concrete.
The goal:
Our goal is
to develop a 3D concrete printer, out of the Kuka robot and the concrete mix.
Therefor we need to develop a rectangular print head, if possible motor driven,
which turns with the corners.
Furthermore
we need to develop software which can be used to translate the design into
G-code and to the robot language.
... and
hopefully can we print at the end of Koppelting some wonderful objects
