Abstract

Automation technology has advanced in industry, such as aerospace, ship building, automobile, etc. However, automation technology in construction has grown slowly, because the currently available automation technology and engineering technology may not be suitable for large scale construction products effectively and economically. This paper describes current additive manufacturing (AM) processes in construction which has the potential of application in the production of large structures. Based on the similar procedure, the paper explores a new BIM-based automated construction system (BIMAC) including composition of BIMAC, detail of execution setup, data issues, filling layer algorithm and shows printed example results, which are the highly customized building components. The further research about construction scale AM is presented. While still in its infancy, this research has the potential to improve the traditional construction methods, and solve problems like high accident, low quality, loss of skilled workers, and so on.
