Abstract
In recent years, the construction industry has seen a shift from traditional methods to innovative solutions such as 3D printing of concrete. The elimination of formwork allows the economical and resource efficient production of special shapes. One specific application can be mass-customized concrete base bricks that act as a transition between a floor slab and wall structures, minimizing thermal bridges. A parametric model optimizes the geometry in terms of structural and thermal properties and enables customized production. FEA analyses and experimental testing confirm the thermal properties and practical suitability. Parametric modelling and automation underline the economic and environmental benefits of resource-efficient construction.
