(cctv finance "first time")researchers at a swiss university recently built a "construction robot" that uses environmentally friendly materials to "print" houses, but the construction method is different from traditional 3d printing. the r&d team hopes that this construction robot can further promote emission reductions in the global construction industry.
according to reports, the house-building process of the robot recently developed by the swiss federal institute of technology is similar to that of 3d printing houses. the difference is that this robot uses "impact printing" technology, which can cut sticky building materials. it is formed into blocks, and then shot to a designated location at a speed of 36 kilometers per hour. the stacked building materials gradually form a wall, and there is basically no need to wait for drying.
lauren vasey, ph.d., swiss federal institute of technology: basically what we do is stamp building materials together, but without using any mechanical structures or building molds in the process. the robot stacks the building materials layer by layer by shooting at high speed.
according to scientific researchers, the advantage of this latest construction method is that it can "use local materials." the building materials of the construction robot do not require cement at all. building materials can be made from the soil dug out when laying the foundation, mixed with a small amount of additives.
lauren vasey, ph.d., swiss federal institute of technology: if this mechanical system can be used on a large scale, we will have huge potential to make buildings both fast and environmentally friendly.
according to relevant studies, the construction industry accounts for as much as 37% of global carbon emissions. nearly half of a building’s total carbon emissions come from building materials and construction processes. the swiss scientific research team hopes to promote emission reductions in the entire construction industry by using sustainable building materials and increasing the speed of building construction.
