LABDay at the Collaborative Research Centre AMC
LABDay at the Collaborative Research Centre AMC What possibilities does 3D printing offer for architecture and for the entire construction industry? What can this new technology do and how can it be used creatively? The AMC LABDay was initiated to get to the bottom of these questions with school students. In this one-day workshop, pupils learn details about the digital fabrication process from design to production. The special feature: the school students can digitally design an object themselves and this object is then printed on site by a robot. The first workshop was already a great success. The participants were able to directly participate in creative design, augmented reality, software and robotic 3D printing production. Find out more about the …

Zukunftstag beim AMC
Der dfg-geförderte Sonderforschungsbereich Additive Manufacturing in Construction blickt auf einen erfolgreichen Zukunftstag 2023 zurück. Wir haben Schülerinnen eingeladen, um sich über die Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen des 3D-Drucks im Bauwesen zu informieren und ihnen eine praktische Einführung in diese Technologie zu geben. Es war ein aufregender Tag, an dem die Schülerinnen nicht nur die Grundlagen des 3D-Drucks kennenlernten, sondern auch unsere fortschrittlichen 3D-Drucker in Aktion erleben konnten. Wie wird Digitalisierung und 3D-Druck im Bauwesen eingesetzt? Wie gestaltet man in einem digitalen Prozesse Bauwerke? Und wie können neue Technologien dafür eingesetzt werden schneller, kosteneffizienter und nachhaltiger zu bauen. Wir waren beeindruckt von der Begeisterung und dem Engagement der Schülerinnen, die aktiv an den praktischen Workshops teilgenommen haben. Wir hoffen, dass wir ihnen …
