Abstract
Smart Dynamic Casting (SDC) is a continuous robotic slip-forming process that enables the prefabrication of material-optimised load-bearing concrete structures. In this automated process, a dynamic formwork, significantly smaller than the structure produced, is continuously moved at a velocity which allows concrete to be shaped during the critical phase that it changes from a soft to a hard material.
As part of the dfab House at the EMPA premises in Dübendorf, CH, SDC was selected as one of five innovative construction techniques to demonstrate the construction of the future in digital fabrication. In this case SDC was used for the automated prefabrication of 15 bespoke material-optimized load-bearing façade mullions and additionally represents the first digital fabrication process world-wide which has unified reinforcement and concreting in a single robotic fabrication process. This extended abstract contextualizes SDC in the state of the art of digital concrete construction and highlights the challenges encountered when producing 15 individual mullions for the dfab House.
