“…Nature ubiquitously relies on fibers and hierarchical fiber arrangements, such as those found in trees or bones, for strength and flexibility [3], [4]. Recent work [5], [6] suggested synthetic fiber-reinforced composites (FRC), such as fiberglass or carbon fiber, can mimic aspects of natural materials to achieve more complex and higher-performing properties in architecture. However, the molds -or mandrels-required to create these architectures are geometrically constrained and expensive to make and maintain.…”

Concrete as a construction material is characterized by high compressive strength, low tensile strength, and good casting ability. In order to fully utilize the potential of this material, the form of load-carrying structures has to be designed according to the stress distribution in the structure. Partially hollow structures, such as hollow beams, or doubly curved structures, such as shells, have favorable characteristics. In hollow structures, material savings are achieved in the individual building components by locally reducing dimensions. Concrete shells, if designed properly, are able to span over large areas by transferring the loads mainly by membrane stresses. The main problem with these structures, however, is the high effort required for producing the complicated formwork. One possibility of reducing this effort is to use a pneumatic formwork. This paper describes different pneumatic formwork systems invented in the past 100 years and presents the latest developments in this area. The many types of possible applications are divided into three categories in order to obtain a clearer overview. Finally, a new construction method, called “Pneumatic Forming of Hardened Concrete (PFHC),” is presented. This method was invented at the TU Vienna and uses the pneumatic formwork in a novel way.

“…Seyedahmadian et al [2] adopted a similar study for developing an automated process for pressing fibrous materials onto a wooden mould. This method of pressing fibrous materials onto a temporary surface was further explored by Doerstelmann et al [3] for the 2014 ITKE Research Pavilion at the University of Stuttgart. In this case, an inflated membrane was used to define an enclosed space.…”

One of the geometrical restrictions associated with printed paste materials such as concrete, is that material must be self-supporting during printing. In this research paper a new methodology for 3D Printing Concrete onto a temporary freeform surface is presented. This is achieved by setting up a workflow for combining a Flexible Mould developed at TU Delft with a 4-degrees-of-freedom gantry printer (4 DOF) provided at TU Eindhoven. A number of hypothetical cases are studied, namely fully-printing geometries or combining 3D printing with casting concrete. The final outcome is a 5 m 2 partially-printed and partially-cast shell structure, combined with a CNC-milled mould simulating a Flexible Mould.
