| Summary: | 3D printing is a modern manufacturing technology. This technology builds
3D models from stacking of 2D layers. The application of 3D printing in the sector
of building construction is an emerging technology. It provides advantages over the
traditional construction method in terms of time, cost, waste reduction and
architectural freedom. Application of 3D printing in construction requires
technological integration of various systems. One of the important systems involved
is material delivery system. Currently, there is limited research that focused on the
material delivery system. This project aims to develop a material delivery system of
3D printing used for building construction. The material delivery system is designed
schematically. Then, a model of the nozzle assembly is designed and fabricated. The
relationship between the nozzle speed, flow rate and storage tank size are derived.
Test carried out using the fabricated model shows that the working of the material
delivery system depends greatly on material properties. The material delivery system
can produce desirable extrusion with suitable material. It has the potential to serve as
a blueprint for 3D printing construction projects or research that require a material
delivery system for extruding an available suitable material. |
