3D PRINTING

HOUSES

“Will the

World’s next

Megacity drip

out of a 3D

printer?”

• The term 3D printing refers to the production of physical objects layer-by-layer by an automated and usually computer-controlled machine.

• The technology provides for a wide range of applications - from surgical implants to spare parts for cars to lightweight structures for aerospace projects.

• 3 Main Factors:

- Suitable materials

- Freedom of design

- Fabricating complex shapes offsite or onsite

A near-perfect match for the construction industry…

Types of 3D Printing

FDM - Fused Deposition Modelling“The Hosepipe”

Can make large parts Needs robots & cranes Low quality Very cheap Needs detailed calibration Each time

SLA - Stereolithography Laser Powered Low - Medium quality Uses resins More Expensive Resins £/€ 70 per kg Resins need to be removed with alcohol afterwards

SLS - Selective Laser Sintering High quality Powdered Metal Very expensive Max size 50-60 cm £/€ 50-60 per kg Needs time to cool afterwards

The ProcessHere you can see examples of the large scaffold that has to be built first.

Then slowly building up layers of rough concrete and joins which is with all currentgeneration 3D printing.

Eco Friendly?Concrete houses are the opposite of eco friendly and bleed all the heating energy intothe atmosphere.

Cold, hard and noisy to sleep and live in, with no sound or heating insulation.

Once the concrete is poured and set conventional manual processes are needed to finish the building:

o Multiple boards have to be cut and fixed by hand both sides to cover therough concrete.

o [Gyprock / drywall / plasterboard / mdf / wood]o Electric Cables & Water Pipes have to be cut into the boards and fixedo The cut outs in the boards for the cables and pipes need to be repairedo A decorator has to apply smooth plaster / gypsum to the outside boardo The plaster / gypsum finish needs to dry then be sanded and painted several

times.

Problems with 3D Printing Technology

Unfortunately the majority of 3D printing for housing andbuilding is very slow and low quality.

Usually a small nozzle on a slow moving robot arm thatdeposits just one small layer of concrete or similar substanceat a time.

Several issues stopped current 3D printing technology beingused on a large scale:

The basic process does not pass building safetystandards, codes or regulations.

Only the concrete pouring can be automated

The rest of the construction process continues to bemanual

For a finished product - fit to live in – very little cost andtime saving

A lot of setup time and labour for the Robot

Brick Laying Robots Brick laying robots are now available.

But they still need a mason and assistant full time to:

o Carry the 25kg+ sacks of sand and cement

o Mix the cement and sand with water

o Feed the Robots with Bricks and Mortar

o Apply mortar to the bricks for most robots

Issues

o Human workers still need to set up the roboto Move the robot and track for every wallo Health and Safetyo Laying bricks at difficult angleso Most brick laying robots are not fast enougho As well as clearing up…o Robot maintenance in gritty and wet environmento For the better robots: $500,000 +

PROBLEM - HOUSING SHORTAGES GLOBALLY

ACUTE NEEDS FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING

UN: 100,000 new houses need to

be built every day until 2030

Saudi Arabia: $1.5 billion lease of

100 3D machines from Winsun

(China)

Dubai: Requires 25% of new

buildings to be 3D printed by 2030

Construction has not evolved with technology in the last 100-200years, and is now too expensive to supply the global housingshortages.• Uses materials from 1,000 years ago: sand, gypsum dust, bricks

and sticks

• Is poor quality and 95% manual - using expensive skilled labour

• Huge shortage of construction workers – workforce is ageing

• Traditional construction is very slow and inefficient

• One in five projects completes 20 months behind schedule*

• 80% of projects run over budget*

* McKinsey report Oct 17 on digital innovation in construction
