Solution details

This product is a building product built by robot on-site 3D spraying and printing of multiple layers of materials. The user-customizable air mold interface cut by the robot provides force support for 3D printing, thereby achieving high-efficiency construction. This construction system innovation integrates customized software platform innovation, mobile robot technology innovation, gypsum-based printing material innovation, building parametric design and product and service standard research and development, making it the world's first. This construction system can reduce the amount and price of building materials by more than 15%, reduce construction and labor time by more than 50%, and at the same time improve the building experience and user participation, and increase market expectations. It can be applied to low-end disaster-resistant houses, military houses, mid-end tourism and leisure houses, and high-end personal housing markets in developed countries, with a wide range of market application scenarios.

Research progress:

Small buildings for the tourism market use pneumatic polyurethane materials to spray samples, inflatable molds for high-end customized houses, and mobile robots have prototypes. Gypsum based materials have obtained national certification and multiple patents. It has applied for 4 China invention patents, including "Construction Method of Inflatable Houses, Container Houses and Container Houses," among which,"A 3D Printing-based Building Manufacturing System and Method" has also applied for a US patent.
