Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: The Contour Crafting Process


1
The Contour Crafting Process
CC builds objects by extruding paste material in
a layer by layer fashion while smoothing part
surface with a robotically controlled Trowel.
2
Automated Construction by Contour Crafting
Energy Aspects
On site custom design construction with fully
electric CC machine. Wasteless operation at
unprecedented speed An average home built in one
day. These result in dramatic saving in
construction energy.
3
Automatic imbedding of heating / cooling elements
Nichrome wire coil or copper pipe for carrying
heating or cooling liquids may be automatically
imbedded upon construction.
4
Imbedding sensors and IT components
Conductive concrete may be used to power densely
imbedded sensors and actuators.
5
Green Lighting
Permanently imbedded lighting by extruding LEDs
with conductive and translucent concrete to
create building structures that provide reliable
and low energy consuming illumination. The
translucent concrete shown, Litracon, is already
in the market.
