Project description
3D concrete printing and sustainable mixtures in Estonia
The advancement of automation and 3D printing technologies in construction engineering has the potential to greatly enhance the sustainability of the construction sector in Europe. In this context, the EU-funded EXEP3D project is dedicated to bolstering the skills and innovation capacity of the Estonian TTK Institute of Civil Engineering in construction engineering, with a particular focus on 3D concrete printing and sustainable mixtures. Its goal is to establish the institute as a leading competence centre in both Estonia and Europe. Collaboration with Eindhoven University of Technology and TU Dresden is integral to driving innovation within the industry. Overall, the project will facilitate staff upskilling, foster academia-industry partnerships, and support applied research activities.
Objective
The EXEP3D project aims to expand skills, transfer knowledge, and raise the innovation capacity of TTKs Institute of Civil Engineering in the field of construction engineering with the aim to become a leading competence centre in Estonia and Europe, more specifically in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) and locally produced sustainable mixtures. By linking the unique competencies of Eindhoven University of Technology and TU Dresden the two leading universities in automation and 3D printing technologies for construction engineering and environmentally friendly mixtures the project has potential to innovate the construction engineering industry as a whole. With a wider aim to fill in the gap within EU and raise the scientific and technological excellence of TTK as a representative of Estonia, a Widening country, EXEP3D proposes a combination of staff upskilling, academia-industry partnership-building and applied research activities while consulting with academia and industry experts. Within 36 months, the consortium will deliver 8 staff study visits, 13 training seminars for staff and students/researchers, a student competition, 2 open-access publications on the newly established research direction in cost-efficient 3D concrete printing formwork and locally produced mixtures, technical descriptions and data sheets on the novel approach, and annual events with the industry to introduce and further disseminate project results, to name a few.
