Problem
The construction industry faces significant challenges with stagnant productivity, substantial waste generation, and a considerable contribution to global CO2 emissions. Furthermore, the sector experiences labor shortages, necessitating more efficient and sustainable building processes.
Solution
Impact Printing offers a robotic additive manufacturing system designed for high-volume construction, both offsite and onsite. This technology utilizes a custom-designed tool to extrude, portion, and project dense mixed materials at high velocities, enabling enhanced material bonding. The process operates with materials in a stable, high yield stress state, reducing the need for high percentages of additives for green strength development. This approach facilitates low-carbon and circular building practices, aiming to make sustainable construction cost-competitive while minimizing waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
Target Audience
The primary customers are construction firms and developers seeking to implement sustainable, cost-competitive, and efficient building solutions for high-volume projects.
Features
- Robotic additive manufacturing system with a custom extrusion tool for high-velocity material projection.
- Utilizes dense mixed materials with high yield stress, reducing reliance on green strength additives.
- Capable of both offsite and onsite construction applications, with hardware adaptable to autonomous mobile platforms.
- Employs a circular material mix design, primarily composed of construction by-products to minimize embodied CO2 and landfill waste.
- Integrated robotic surface finishing capabilities for achieving high-quality finishes.
- Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted to quantify embodied CO2 of materials and production processes.
