AMC Summer School 2022
AMC Summer School 2022 – Summer, sun, lake and future The Collaborative Research Centre Transregio TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) met at the end of July for an intensive research exchange at Lake Ammersee. For one week, the Haus der Bayerischen Landwirtschaft was home to 80 AMC scientists and their guests. Among them were students from the cooperating universities TU Braunschweig and TU München as well as the Venture Lab. The five days of the Summer School brought a breeze of fresh air to the AMC and motivated the researchers for the upcoming second phase of the overall project. This year’s AMC Summer School took a look back at the research highlights achieved so far as well as …
Girlspower at the AMC Lab in Achering
#Girlspower at the AMC Lab -german version below- #Girlspower at the AMC Lab in Achering, TU München. Schoolgirls recently conducted research as part of the program “TUM Entdeckerinnen: MINT experience at university” themselves on 3D printing in construction. Next to several other helpers our colleague Maximilian Dahlenburg supervised the girls due to his sub-project “Extrusion of jet-mixed concrete – individually graded in bulk density and 3D fiber reinforcement” as part of the collaborative research project AMC – TRR 277 “Additive manufacturing in construction”. The girls learned about the process of basic research and were allowed to print an electronic random cube themselves. Munich, August 2022 About the AMC: The Collaborative Research Center Transregio TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) …
Additive Fertigung im Bauwesen verankert sich in der Lehre
Additive Fertigung im Bauwesen verankert sich in der Lehre – praktische Anwendungsfälle im Masterkurs Studierende des Bauingenieurwesens an der TUM hatten im Sommersemester 2022 die Gelegenheit, sich mit der additiven Fertigung im Bauwesen zu beschäftigen. Unter der Leitung von Klaudius Henke, Bettina Saile, Daniel Talke und Birger Buschmann, vom Lehrstuhl für Holzbau und Baukonstruktion an der TUM ging es im Master-Kurs „Einführung in die additive Fertigung im Bauwesen“ zentral um das Thema „Additiv gefertigte Brücken“. Nachdem sich die Studierenden mit Referaten über bereits gebaute Beispiele in die Thematik eingearbeitet hatten, vertieften sie den Stoff durch eigene Entwürfe von additiv gefertigten Brücken. Bei diesen Brücken sollte das im Teilprojekt A08 entwickelte Verfahren ‚Individual Layer Fabrication (ILF)‘ zur additiven Fertigung von Holzwerkstoffelementen …
AMC-Scientists awarded with two international prizes for outstanding research
At this year’s Digital Concrete (DC 2022) in Loughborough, the leading international conference for digital fabrication with concrete, scientists from the Collaborative Research Center TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) were honored with two awards. Dr. Inka Mai, M.Sc Friedrich Herding and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dirk Lowke from the iBMB at TU Braunschweig won the Best Paper Award for their evaluation of the use of methyl cellulose for selective cement activation. Their paper entitled “Evaluating the Effect of Methyl Cellulose on Hardened State Properties in Selective Cement Activation” convinced the jury. Likewise, M.Sc. Yinan Xiao from the ITE of the TU Braunschweig was able to accept the prize for the Best Student Presentation. He presented the paper “Injection 3D Printing …
Digitaltag 2022
Digitaltag 2022 Der AMC hat beim diesjährigen, bundesweiten Digitaltag teilgenommen. Unter dem Motto „fun with technology -Exkursion zum Beton 3D-Druck“ konnten Schüler:innen Forschung und technologische Weiterentwicklung des 3D-Drucks miterleben. Was ist mit einem 3D-Drucker alles möglich? Was sind die Vorteile? Was sind die Herausforderungen des digitalen Bauens? Und was gibt es für vollkommen neue, digitale Berufsfelder, die durch den 3D-Druck entstehen? Die Schüler:innen erhielten Einblick in die innovativer Forschung, für ein zukunftfähiges Bauwesen. Mehr Informationen zum Digitaltag 2022 finden Sie unter: https://www.braunschweig.de/digitalisierung-online-services/digitaltag-2022.php Braunschweig, Juni 2022 Über den AMC: Der Sonderforschungsbereich Transregio TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) hat zum Ziel, die Additive Fertigung (den 3D-Druck) als neuartige digitale Fertigungstechnologie für das Bauwesen grundlegend zu erforschen. In dem interdisziplinären, …
Ministerbesuch beim Digital Building Fabrication Laboratory
Der niedersächsische Minister für Umwelt, Energie, Bauen und Klimaschutz Olaf Lies und die Braunschweiger Landtagsabgeordnete Anette Schütze informierten sich im Zuge der ersten Sommerreise des Ministers über grundlegende wissenschaftliche Forschungsvorhaben an der TU Braunschweig. Eine Station des Ministers war das Digital Building Fabrication Laboratory (DBFL) des Instituts für Tragwerksentwurf. Dort nutzten Lies und Schütze die Gelegenheit, Einblicke in die Forschung der additiven Fertigung, dem 3D-Druck im Bauwesen zu erhalten und den Sonderforschungsbereich TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) kennenzulernen. Sowohl Lies als auch Schütze betonten die Notwendigkeit, universitäre Forschungsergebnisse besser zu nutzen und stärker in die Gesellschaft hineinzutragen. Für beide Politiker gilt der Grundsatz: exzellente Forschung kann bei gesellschaftlichen Wandlungsprozessen einen großen Beitrag leisten. Konkret wurden dem Minister und …

Spring fever in the AMC
At the cross-project workshop in Munich, the subprojects were able to get closer during slow dating. At the end of April, 75 scientists of the Collaborative Research Center Transregio 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) met in Munich to determine in-depth cooperation possibilities of their subprojects and to define the orientation of the AMC for the 2nd funding phase. The focus of the two days was on networking within the AMC. The subprojects of the Focus Areas A, B and C met in so-called “slow dates” every 30 minutes to define and determine common points of contact and meaningful collaborations. The focus was less on as many collaborations as possible, but more on the quality of the networking and the …
