Abstract

The Contour Crafting(CC) process, which has been developed at the University of Southern California, aims at automated construction of whole houses as well as sub-components. For this purpose, new trowel mechanism is basically needed in order to fabricate the true 3D shape. This paper presents our concepts and initial investigation of 3D free form fabrication using the pivoting side trowel. Specifically, the status of research and development of the processand experiments with ceramics materials, and its potential application areas are detailed.
