In December 2020, we welcomed Trudy in our research team! Who is she you wonder? Well, Trudy is an ABB IRB 4600-45/2.05 robot who is greatly expanding the 3D printing capabilities of the research group. The 6-axis robot is able to achieve the production of complex geometries, intricate textures and challenging product ideas.
If you are interested in vising our facilities, taking part of a 3D concrete printing workshop, doing your internship/ graduation thesis or just want to learn more about the technology, do not hesitate to contact us!
Not to foget where we started from, our 3D concrete printing set-up was of a small scale ideal for research purposes. It consisted of our own lab which with 4 sub-spaces : main storage room, dry mixing room, wet mixing area and printing area.
The print volume of our printer was ~0,7 cubic meters but now, Trudy has taken things in her hands and is rocking space 5 times bigger!
