Course Description

This course builds upon the foundational knowledge gained in Intro to 3D Concrete Printing, with a focus on applying additive manufacturing techniques to construction practices. Through project-based learning, students design, plan, and execute 3D concrete printing projects that simulate real-world construction scenarios. Emphasis is placed on teamwork, jobsite planning, material performance, and equipment operation. Students engage in all stages of the project—from concept and design through fabrication and evaluation—developing critical thinking, technical, and problem-solving skills essential for innovation in modern construction. By course completion, students will demonstrate their ability to integrate 3D concrete printing technology into practical construction applications. Group 2 course.
