3D printer for construction
Posted: Wed Jan 29, 2025 8:34 am
3D printing is of increasing interest to the public. It would seem that the first 3D printers appeared quite recently, but today they can already print dishes, toys, the printers themselves and "consumables" for them, and, which seems unlikely, human tissue and organs. Now interesting business ideas are appearing abroad, consisting of printing residential buildings and building structures.
Dr Sungwoo Lima, based at Loughborough University in the UK, has assembled a team of scientists who are developing approaches to using 3D printing in construction. The project is funded by the EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) at the Centre for Industrial and Construction Innovation.
Scientists have already learned to print small forms using the cement formula (flower beds, vases, building blocks) and have begun printing full-size building structures. This technology can provide complete freedom of thought during design, because it becomes possible to use absolutely any shapes and lines (cornerstones, convex, cubic, etc.).
The 3D printer uses extrusion panama email list technology, i.e. a new layer of material is placed on top of the previous one. Of course, it is premature to talk about high quality printing, but this is not the main thing for construction (concrete is not at all difficult to process and give it the desired appearance). But this interesting business idea makes it possible to create concrete forms without formwork, which will make live labor easier and construction times shorter.
Interesting DIY Business Ideas: List
Sewing exclusive clothing.
Manufacturing of costume jewelry (beads, bracelets, earrings, etc.).
Making buttons.
Knitting with knitting needles or on a machine (hats, sweaters, bags, etc.).
Soap making.
Bead weaving (toys, jewelry, etc.).
Making paper crafts (large flowers, figurines, boxes, etc.).
Nail extensions and design.
Making topiaries (souvenirs from cereals, corrugated paper, etc.).
Production of exclusive toys (knitted, felt, fabric).
Preparation of confectionery and culinary products (cakes and pastries, semi-finished products, lunches to order).
Creation of paintings (from sand and beads, modular).
Photo and video shooting (events, photo sessions, etc.).
Copywriting (writing articles, scripts, literary works, etc.).
Decoration of premises for events (stages for concerts, halls for competitions or banquets, etc.).
Manufacturing of wooden furniture or other unique wood products.
Gardening (harvesting and marketing of crops, cultivation of rare plants).
Organization and holding of festive and other events.
Musician services (individual lessons, singing or playing a musical instrument).
