Material, manufacturing process, and form are mutually dependent. In formwork-based concrete construction, the reinforcement must be positioned and fixed in the formwork, limiting material efficiency and freedom of form. In Digital Fabrication with Concrete (DFC), the formwork no longer limits the concrete forming process. Furthermore, the reinforcement no longer must be installed in advance, but can be placed before, during or after the concrete application. Therefore, the role of reinforcement and its interaction with processing must be fundamentally rethought in DFC. Furthermore, with reinforcement integration a concrete component expands from a contour-based shape into a structural form.

数字制造中钢筋、工艺和形式与混凝土的交互


材料、制造工艺和形式是相互依赖的。在基于模板的混凝土施工中，钢筋必须定位并固定在模板中，这限制了材料效率和形状的自由度。在 Digital Fabrication with Concrete （DFC） 中，模板不再限制混凝土成型过程。此外，钢筋不再需要提前安装，而是可以在混凝土施工之前、期间或之后放置。因此，在 DFC 中，必须从根本上重新考虑加固的作用及其与加工的相互作用。此外，通过钢筋集成，混凝土构件从基于轮廓的形状扩展到结构形式。
