Bauen im Regen, eine katastrophale Vorstellung, doch Praxis auf Baustellen. Es bringt Ungenauigkeit, behindert den Einsatz moderner Hochleistungswerkstoffe und kostet Zeit, da Störungen im Bauprozess oft umständliche Rückläufe in den Planungsprozess bedeuten. Dennoch gilt der handwerklich geprägte Bauprozess als unvermeidlich, da jedes Bauwerk individuell und in Handarbeit vor Ort zu erstellen ist. Tatsächlich? Das von der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft eingerichtete Schwerpunktprogramm „Adaptive Modulbauweisen mit Fließfertigungsmethoden“ setzt auf einen gänzlich neuen Ansatz. Baustrukturen werden in ähnliche modulare Betonfertigteile zerlegt, in Serienfertigung mit Fließprinzip vorgefertigt, in ihrer Qualität gesichert und auf der Baustelle nur noch zusammengefügt. Die Bauzeiten reduzieren sich auf wenige Tage oder Wochen. Vergleichbar einem Puzzle aus vielen Teilen, bleibt die Einzigartigkeit des Tragwerks erhalten. Es gilt: „Individualität im Großen – Ähnlichkeit im Kleinen“. Der Beitrag zeigt Ansätze zur Modularisierung, Produktionskonzepte und verknüpfende digitale Modelle. Durch die ortsfeste Vorfertigung in Serie entstehen hohe Produktionsgeschwindigkeiten und schlanke, ressourceneffiziente Module, die zu Tragwerken mit geringen Maßabweichungen assembliert werden. Eine durchgängige Digitalisierung sichert die Qualität aller Einzelschritte. Sie reicht von der Fertigung über den Zusammenbau bis in die Nutzungszeit des Tragwerks. Es entsteht ein verschwendungsarmer, ressourceneffizienter Gesamtprozess.
Building in heavy rain is seldom beneficial, but common practice on site. It promotes inaccuracies and impairs the use of modern but sensible high‐performance materials and costs time, since disruption in construction frequently causes complicated returns to the planning process. Nevertheless, a handcrafted production process is still considered the one and only alternative since all buildings are unique and thus must be manually constructed on site. Indeed? The priority program entitled “Adaptive modularized constructions made in a flux” funded by the German Research Foundation follows a completely new approach. Buildings are divided into similar modular precast concrete elements, prefabricated in flow production, quality‐assured, and just‐in‐time assembled on site. Comparable to puzzles with many pieces, the uniqueness of the structure is maintained. The motto is: “Individuality on a large scale‐similarity on a small scale”. The contribution presents approaches of modularization, production concepts, and linking digital models. Serial, stationary prefabrication enables short production times and resource‐efficient modules that are assembled to load‐bearing structures with low geometrical deviations. Stringent digitalization ensures high quality of all intermediate steps. These comprise fabrication, assembly, and the whole service life of the structure. The result is a lean production process.
The rapid development of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies enables a radical paradigm shift in the construction of heat exchangers. In place of a layout limited to the use of planar or tubular starting materials, heat exchangers can now be optimized, reflecting their function and application in a particular environment. The complexity of form is no longer a restriction but a quality. Instead of brazing elements, resulting in rather inflexible standard components prone to leakages, with AM, we finally can create seamless integrated and custom solutions from monolithic material. To address AM for heat exchangers we both focus on the processes, materials, and connections as well as on the construction abilities within certain modeling and simulation tools. AM is not the total loss of restrictions. Depending on the processes used, delicate constraints have to be considered. But on the other hand, we can access materials, which can operate in a much wider heat range. It is evident that conventional modeling techniques cannot match the requirements of a flexible and adaptive form finding. Instead, we exploit biomimetic and mathematical approaches with parametric modeling. This results in unseen configurations and pushes the limits of how we should think about heat exchangers today.
