Robotic 3D-Printing for Building and Construction

In existing 3D printing processes, the size of the printed object cannot be larger than that of the built chamber or of the delivery system. This makes 3D printing a priori unsuitable for large-sized projects, such as in building and construction. In this paper, we present a framework based on mobil...
