TU Braunschweig's Dr. Inka Dressler Revolutionizing Construction with 3D Printing
Dr. Inka Dressler, a researcher at TU Braunschweig, is making waves in the construction industry with her innovative work on 3D printing. Her research, conducted in France, focuses on controlling liquid penetration into particle beds during 3D printing. This technology promises to revolutionise construction, from improving safety to enabling real-time defect correction.
Dr. Dressler's work is part of the larger SFB/TRR 277 project, which involves researchers from TU Braunschweig, TU Munich, and ETH Zurich. Her research projects A01 and A04 delve into particle bed 3D printing and reinforced shotcrete elements. She aims to develop a formula describing how particle size affects liquid penetration depth, ensuring precise and robust components.
Meanwhile, her colleagues are exploring recycled stone aggregate to reduce cement content and CO2 emissions. Professor Anna Troch's team at ETH Zurich is working on material-efficient ceiling elements, requiring 70 percent less material while maintaining load-bearing capacity. The ultimate goal is to create 3D-printed houses, which are already a reality in Germany with recent prototypes for single and multi-family homes.
Dr. Inka Dressler's research, along with other projects under SFB/TRR 277, is pushing the boundaries of 3D printing in construction. By understanding and controlling liquid penetration, reducing material usage, and exploring new materials, they are paving the way for safer, more efficient, and sustainable construction methods.
