AMC Highlights 2022
The Collaborative Research Centre TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) looks back on an eventful and successful year. Intensive scientific exchange, innovative research approaches, new research infrastructure and many awards for outstanding research: in 2022, the AMC had it all, and so it can continue. Some AMC Highlights had a special focus on the next generation in civil engineering and architecture. For example, the AMC was part of the nationwide Digitaltag 2022 and Girlsday, getting young people excited about 3D printing research. The AMC has acquired a taste for it and is keen for more: more contact with school students, more open labs, more presentations of innovative research in 2023. At this year’s Digital Concrete (DC 2022) in Loughborough, …

Fun with technology! – LabDay on 27 January 2023
Fun with technology! – LabDay on 27 January 2023 Fun with technology! What is possible with a 3D printer? What are the challenges of digital construction? With the LabDay, the Collaborative Research Centre TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) make female students aware of the possibilities of 3D printing for architecture and for the entire construction industry. In the workshop, the young people learn about the digital fabrication process from design to production. And it will be very hands-on: the students digitally design an object themselves, which is then printed with clay. The LabDay on 27 January 2023 is suitable for female students from grade 11. Interested? Then simply contact the AMC at the following e-mail address: m.baehrens@tu-braunschweig.de. Find …

#11 Quarterly meeting at the AMC – quo vadis?
-english version below- Mitte Oktober trafen sich rund 80 Wissenschaftler:innen des Sonderforschungs-bereichs / Transregio 277 – Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) im Rahmen Ihres 11. Quartalstreffens, um den aktuellen Projektstand der Teilprojekte zu präsentieren und zu diskutieren. Dabei lag der Fokus nicht nur auf – Was hat der AMC bis hierhin erreicht? sondern besonders auf – Was sind die nächsten Ziele des AMCs? Zentrale Aspekte des Treffens waren dabei besonders die etablierten und neu entwickelten Netzwerke zwischen den einzelnen Teilprojekten und die Planung von mehreren konkreten gemeinschaftlichen Anschauungsobjekten, sogenannten Demonstratoren. Die Erweiterung der bestehenden Netzwerke und die Entwicklung der Demonstratoren gehen hier Hand in Hand und verstärken die Zusammenarbeit der drei Focus Areas des AMCs. Die prozess- und materialorientieren Projekte …
