Abstract Over the past decade innovative techniques for shaping concrete have emerged, all aiming to use less material and reduce the need for traditional formwork. One very promising method is to shape concrete dynamically: referred to as Smart Dynamic Casting (SDC), this process was pioneered in 2012 as the first robotically-driven system for slipforming bespoke concrete structures. The process has successfully been adapted to produce structures using ultra-thin formworks that are cast using our digital set-on-demand procedure. More generally we frame this approach as Digital Casting Systems (DCS), which allows the user precisely to determine the hydration rate of the material, thus eliminating formwork pressure. This paper highlights the major findings from SDC that led us to continue developing DCS. It lays out the material concepts fundamental the family of DCS, which, by eliminating the need for bulky formworks, has a large potential impact on future construction methods.

从智能动态铸造到不断壮大的数字铸造系统系列

摘要 在过去的十年中，出现了用于塑造混凝土的创新技术，所有这些都旨在使用更少的材料并减少对传统模板的需求。一种非常有前途的方法是动态塑造混凝土：称为智能动态铸造 (SDC)，该过程于 2012 年率先推出，是第一个用于滑模定制混凝土结构的机器人驱动系统。该工艺已成功应用于使用超薄模板生产结构，这些模板是使用我们的数字按需设置程序铸造的。更一般地说，我们将这种方法称为数字铸造系统 (DCS)，它允许用户精确地确定材料的水化率，从而消除模板压力。本文重点介绍了 SDC 的主要发现，这些发现促使我们继续开发 DCS。
