Summary

Located on the RELLIS Campus , this lab specializes in 3D printing of cementitious and other building materials to advance additive construction technologies. It supports research in automated fabrication, material innovation, and scalable solutions for infrastructure development using additive manufacturing techniques. Construction 3D Printing, also known as additive construction, is an emerging field that enables a new class of robotically produced structures with the potential to be more sustainable, resilient, affordable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing than conventional methods. The C3DP Lab enables the manufacturing of large-scale components using a range of cementitious materials, including traditional options such as concrete and innovative alternatives like hempcrete.
