| Abstract: |
| Manufacture of 3D concrete printers promoting swift, efficient and cost-effective construction practices across Pakistan. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Pakistan has been a victim to multiple natural disasters in the past. Rendered homeless, millions were affected. There were no means of providing emergency accommodations to those affected, our 3D concrete printer will address that issue; as well as promote cost efficient, eco-friendly construction. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Everyone that requires construction of any structure will benefit from this as this will provide cheap construction to all. Some benefits are listed below:
- Better creativity
- Design flexibility
- Low wastage of materials
- Robust structures
- Lesser carbon footprint |
| How will the solution works |
| Our project aims in developing a 3D concrete printer that will operate using additive manufacturing technology; layer by layer.
It will comprise two main components:
- CNC routing machine that will operate using CNC software. It will be capable of routing in all 3 axes; X, Y and Z.
- Extrusion system will be mounted onto the CNC routing machine that will add material for construction, layer by layer. |
| Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different |
| Our competition includes the whole construction industry. Concrete 3D is much different than conventional construction techniques due to its automation. Variety of systems are available like articulated robot system but we will be using the gantry system as this is suitable for all applications. |
