Description

Multi-feed system for 3D printing of fibrous earth for social housing. This project aims to develop systematic methodologies for processing fibrous earth materials for 3D construction printing by utilising a multi-feed extrusion approach for engineered earth mixtures. This project expects to overcome current commercialising limitations in 3D earth printing using novel techniques for printing replicable engineered earth mixtures with on-demand fibre mixing feature. Expected outcome includes developing standardised methods for 3D construction printing of earth houses in Australia that can substitute conventional concrete construction. This objective addresses the pressing housing crisis and the critical demand for affordable and sustainable dwellings, especially in regional Australia and remote communities.. Scheme: Linkage Projects. Field: 3302 - Building. Lead: Dr Mohamed Gomaa
