Abstract

This paper presents an environmental assessment of a 6-Axis robotic Arm for extrusion-based 3D Concrete Printing technology using Life Cycle Assessment method. In addition, the other components of a printing cell are assembled within a life cycle model and the relative contribution of the cell to the printing process is evaluated. The results show that, per one hour of printing, an environmental impact coming from the production phase of robotic printing cell would represent 2,2 kg CO2 Eq for the category of Climate Change. Hourly contributions are also calculated for the rest of environmental indicators.
