Tiivistelmä
The purpose of the Bachelor's thesis was to start study in the sphere of the construction 3D printing for university, to begin to analyse the topic and to present relevant data for other authors who could continue to study 3D construction printing area. The research constituent of the thesis comprises comparison of large-scale 3D-printers (construction 3D-printers) to small-scale ones (ceramic 3D-printers).
The first part of the thesis comprises a description of the process of 3D printing, in this section the author shows companies and real models produced with ceramic 3D printers, their specifications, and performance. Information on prices and technical characteristics were gathered from the official websites of producers.
The second part of the thesis comprises a description of methodology of additive production for small-scale 3D printers. 3D printing was taken as example by the author because it bears much resemblance to the concrete 3D printing. Various key methods were collected and described based on data from other publicly available research articles and reports.
The third part of the thesis contains practical issues and difficulties of construction 3D printing. 3D printing is known by its several benefits over standard methods. The author`s main point was to demonstrate the advantages and findings obtained from real projects. This section describes the major manufacturers and construction 3D printers. Also, this part contains the analysis of the workflow and various kinds of 3D printers.
The outcome of the thesis deciding on the selection of construction 3D printing technology based the results of a comparative analysis of small-scale and large-scale construction 3D printing.
