Area of Science:

Digital Craftsmanship
Robotic Construction
Additive Manufacturing

Background:

Traditional plasterwork serves functional and ornamental roles on building surfaces.
Modern plastering relies on rationalized, cost-efficient processes for standardized elements.
Existing construction robotics focus on automating standardized plastering, overlooking material plasticity.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the design potential of robotic plaster spraying.
To propose an adaptive, thin-layer vertical printing method for plasterwork.
To introduce digital craft through additive manufacturing in construction.

Main Methods:

Developed a digitally controlled process for spraying thin layers of plaster onto vertical surfaces.
Employed an adaptive, thin-layer vertical printing method without formwork or support structures.
Conducted systematic studies with physical testing and data collection for material behavior analysis.

Main Results:

Demonstrated the creation of volumetric formations and patterns on building surfaces.
Enabled the development of methods to predict and visualize complex plaster material behavior.
Explored the potential for designing with plaster's inherent plasticity in digital tools.

Conclusions:

Robotic plaster spraying offers new design possibilities for building surfaces.
Additive manufacturing via thin-layer vertical printing can foster digital craft in construction.
Further research can enable digital design tools that leverage plaster's plasticity.
