This report is an exploration of the field of 3D Printing aka Additive Manufacturing (AM). The field of 3D printing is expanding and branching at an unprecedented rate, making it a very fertile ground for design interventions.
Finding the right area to intervene is as challenging as the intervention itself, if not more. Hence, multiple approaches are used to arrive at the final area of design - Construction. Moreover, given the situation of pandemic and labor crisis in India, being witnessed at the time of writing this report, it makes all the more sense to explore this field.
3D printed construction, though seems alien, has the potential to be the norm in the coming decades. Being more economical, sustainable and capable of realizing wider ranges of design - the field is waiting for a design intervention to happen.
The materials used in the Archbot are concrete and wax, coupled with an agile printer and novel printing solutions, the product aims to integrate (and in future, replace) traditional means of con
