Summary

Concrete formwork in construction can make up 40 - 60% of a total budget, especially for complex shapes such as form-active and organically curved concrete elements. Some designs like organic shapes, double curved surfaces, and cavities are simply not feasible to produce because they require highly skilled laborers to produce customized formwork resulting in high costs, long lead times, and material waste. BigRep machines can produce large-scale, complex formwork up to 3x faster at a fraction of the cost of traditional methods. With BigRep materials, including the new CONCRETE FORMWORK filament, you can unlock the massive benefits of 3D printed formwork.

WATCH THE WEBINAR TO DISCOVER: 

• What are problems in concrete casting that 3D-printing can solve
• Produce complex formwork at lightning speed with reduced lead times
• Achieve complex shapes unthinkable with traditional methods
• The bespoke stair at NEST Empa, designed by ETH Zurich together with BASF Forward AM, ROK, SW Umwelttechnik and Walt Galmarini to realize the innovative STEP 2 building utilizing digital fabrication and circular economy.
• The ETH Team will be joining the webinar and give an update from design perspective on the bespoke stair at the NEST unit.
• We will show how the innovation partners contribute to the project with their individual expertise to be able to realize this outstanding and new stair design.
