2.1.5 3D printing of construction robots
3D printing building robot integrates 3D computer aided design system, robotics and material engineering. Different from traditional ”removing materials” technology, 3D printing building robot printing technology reflects the feature of ”additive”, that is, the existing 3D model is gradually printed by 3D printer, and finally 3D entity is realized. Therefore, 3D printing building robot technology greatly simplifies the process, not only saves time and materials, but also improves work efficiency. Typical examples include DCP type 3D printing construction robot (Keating,S.J.,2017) and 3D printing AI construction robot.
