建筑3D打印公司Changemaker 3D正在使用其“打印基础设施”技术来建立实验地下污水系统的基础。
与英国水公司合作联合公用事业，Changemaker 3D已经开发了一个废水分配室，可以通过环保混凝土在现场打印3D，以一种可以产生时间，成本和可持续性福利的方法，并帮助该行业朝着其碳净值目标发展2030年。
Changemaker 3D的污水系统试验紧随其后的消息，该消息将有助于快速跟踪英国的建设高速2铁路网络，其技术据说从2022年开始在Euston Station站点进行测试。
“It’s exciting for Changemaker 3D to be able to come into a new market and work with a potential supplier like United Utilities, who will also benefit by being the first UK company out of the starting blocks,” said Natalie Wadley, Director of Changemaker 3D. “Other sectors are already sitting up and taking an interest in our strong commercial proposition.”
“As well as being a technology for good, concrete printing is safer to build and saves time and cost. This is good for customers, the water sector and the UK construction industry as a whole.”
环保建筑？
Co-founded by Luke and Natalie Wadley in 2017, ChangeMaker 3D is a company that’s dedicated to developing a new approach to construction, which is more sustainable but still delivers value to users. To achieve this, the husband and wife team have come up with ‘Printfrastructure,’ an approach that involves using robot-mounted 3D printers to create concrete structures at scale.
鉴于该技术可以生产内部碎片的零件，因此它有可能使采用者可以减少其材料废物，同时制造高度可靠的建筑元素。更重要的是，该公司目前正在与Versarien也将石墨烯集成到混凝土中。如果成功，此举可能会解锁具有减少嵌入碳含量的结构的3D打印。
Recognizing the potential of ChangeMaker 3D’s approach, SCS JV, a joint venture betweenSkanska，，，，Costain，，，，and STRABAG, has now cleared the firm’s technology for 3D printing part of the HS2 rail link. In doing so, the SCS JV believes that it could be possible to reduce the tunnels’ concrete and carbon quantities by up to 50%, and by producing structures on-site, it anticipates making further eco-gains in the future.
When it comes to working with United Utilities, however, ChangeMaker 3D’s technology was actually incubated as part of its Innovation Lab scheme, thus in their latest project, the firms have effectively rekindled their partnership, with the aim of putting Printfrastructure to the test and creating a structurally-optimized sewage chamber with end-use potential.
变革者的废水试验
为了充分评估其废水应用过程的生存能力，Changemaker 3D最初选择重新设计污水处理室，因为其复杂性以及与失败有关的风险。从那以后，该公司与联合公用事业公司的工程师和顾问紧密合作，汽车，并设法基于目前制造的坎布里亚郡的管道开发了优化的模型。
在十周的时间内设计的1.8米直径室具有内部分裂墙，在最终使用期间将部分浸入地面1.4米处，并且根据他们的分析，工程师认为可以用25米制成碳比现有型号少的碳少，成本降低了20％，同时花费了一半的时间来建造。
为了付诸实践，Changemaker 3D现在打算3D打印一个原型，然后对其进行严格的测试，以作为检查其强度和耐用性的一种手段。如果成功的话，那么该公司的方法将被预计将在United Utilities的建筑合作伙伴面前现场演示，这一事件可以将其技术放入商店窗口，并打开一系列潜在用例。
“We’re really excited by this technology,” said Lisa Mansell, United Utilities’ Chief Innovation Engineer. “The sector has big challenges on the time and cost of construction, but the biggest challenge for the water industry right here and now is reducing our carbon footprint. One of our biggest carbon impacts is construction projects, particularly where we need to use concrete solutions.”
“我们需要证明它[printFrastructure]在物理上起作用，测试完成的文章在结构上是合理的。这将有助于我们的建筑合作伙伴对此感到满意。”
缩放结构3D打印
无论是水处理设施还是可租用的房屋，3D打印现在都越来越多地找到最终用途，而不是概念验证的施工应用。例如，在阿联酋，Dubai Electricity and Water Authority（Dewa）刚刚打开了3D打印研发实验室该设施容纳了漫游车，无人机和3D打印相关的测试设施。
