Development of Communication Protocols between BIM Elements and 3D Concrete Printing

Development of Communication Protocols between BIM Elements and 3D Concrete Printing

Historically, the construction industry has exhibited slow technological development when compared to other industries. However, during the last several years, investigations related to automation in construction have been conducted, such as additive manufacturing in concrete. This study aims to del...

This study aims to delve into this topic, providing effective communication between BIM-designed elements and its additive concrete manufacturing, with the help of an articulated robotic arm. Therefore, the paper addresses the preparation of computer code that allows such BIM–robot communication, checking the parameters utilized, and analyzing the results of tests with the equipment involved.https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/11/16/7226additive manufacturingbuilding information modeling3D concrete printingcommunication protocols
