Overcoming Environmental Stress Cracking of FDM 3D Printed Formwork for Counter-Pressure Casting of Concrete.

ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of interest toward concrete digital fabrication reflects the current aspiration for better, smarter, faster, and greener construction means. Among a broad variety of techniques developed by our community, digital casting presents clear advantages regarding dimensional precision, geometrical freedom, and surface finish of the produced elements. In contrast to robotic slip forming, the usage of digitally fabricated formworks requires simpler equipment. It, however, calls for easily shaped formworks, typically best three-dimensional (3D) printed, for example, by fused deposition modeling. While such molds can be easily fabricated with a wide range of commercially off-the-shelf available 3D printers, a shortcoming is the susceptibility of many polymers to environmental stress
