AGENT-3D meets C³

New potential consortium members of AGENT-3D met at the taskforce “Polymers” meeting on December 8. Innovative project ideas of several companies and their feasibility were the objects of intense discussion. The main focus was In a further step, new project ideas were developed together with the Carbonbeton-Experten von C³ in a brainstorming session stimulated by various keynote speeches. Numerous researchers and industry leaders met on January 7, 2016 to discuss shared interests and areas of intersection. This led to the pinpointing of six different topics, which can later serve as the basis for potential outline proposals. These range from 3D printing of sensor technology in concrete to the development of system technology for 3D printing in concrete.

Tandem teams were charged with developing these topics. We wish them fruitful collaboration!
