skelETHon Formwork 3D Printed Plastic Formwork for Load-Bearing Concrete Structures

Flatt, Robert ; Jipa, Andrei ; Bernhard, Mathias ; Dillenburger, Benjamin ; Ruffray, Nicolas ; Wangler, Timothy ;

Artigo Completo:

The imperative need for complex geometries in architecture is driving innovation towards an unconstrained fabrication freedom in building components. Fabrication constraints are a critical obstacle when material efficiency through complex, optimized topologies is sought. To address this constraint, this research investigates the use of 3D printed plastic formwork for fibre reinforced concrete at large scale. This novel construction method makes complex topologies and precise details possible for full-scale, load bearing structures. To demonstrate its potential applications, SkelETHon —a functional four-meter-long concrete canoe— was designed, built and raced in a regatta on the Rhine river.
