The Contour Crafting Process

CC builds objects by extruding paste material in a layer by layer fashion while smoothing part surface with a robotically controlled Trowel.

CRAFTCRAFT

Automated Construction by Contour Crafting – Energy Aspects

On site custom design construction with fully electric CC machine.

Wasteless operation at unprecedented speed: An average home built in one day.

These result in dramatic saving in construction energy.

Automatic imbedding of heating / cooling elements

Nichrome wire coil or copper pipe for carrying heating or cooling liquids may be automatically imbedded upon construction.

Imbedding sensors and IT components

Conductive concrete may be used to power densely imbedded sensors and actuators.

Green Lighting

Permanently imbedded lighting by extruding LEDs with conductive and translucent concrete to create building structures that provide reliable and low energy consuming illumination.

The translucent concrete shown, Litracon, is already in the market.
