Abstract

The robot-assisted manufacturing is introduced for many years in automated production areas, while the production of buildings still follows the traditional manual process. Using new possibilities of digital planning the construction industry demonstrated potential for the implementation of freeform architectures, which are only possible using expensive and only once usable formwork structures. This paper focuses on sprayed concrete technology for automated production processes to build up freeform concrete components. A study case of the production of a concrete wall by an industrial robot, equipped with a concrete spraying tool is presented in order to investigate the possibilities and tolerancing issues of this technique.
