- Course overview
- The objective of the Summer School is to train young researchers, PhD students, students and professionals interested in the topic of new construction technologies towards the knowledge of the basic aspects of large-scale metal 3D printing for construction. In particular, the topics dealt with will cover the basic aspects such as the characterization of the printed specimens, the guidelines to be adopted for the design, the structural optimization.Thanks to the participation of external lecturers from the most important European industries in the sector, participants will also be presented with specific case studies, aspects of modeling and evaluation of the economic-environmental impact of metallic 3D printing in construction. Finally, thanks to the recent allocation by the DICAM - Technique of Construction research group of a Delta WASP type metallic 3D printer located at the LISG laboratory of the University of Bologna, it will be possible to provide participants with a practical demonstration of metallic additive manufacturing of big dimensions.
- Subject area
- Sciences and technology
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course, participants will have acquired basic knowledge of large metal 3D printing, with specific reference to Wire-and-Arc Additive Manufacturing technology, increasingly popular in the industry of the buildings. Based on the acquired skills the participants will have acquired knowledge related to the specific properties of metallic elements 3D printed, and how to characterize those properties for the correct Structural Design. Ad-hoc structural optimization techniques for new and existing facilities will also be provided by external lecturers. Also, the opportunity to assist and participate in the 3D fabrication of an item large metal will provide applied knowledge on the part of 3D printing and the influence of process parameters in large-scale manufacturing size.
