Robotic Building Construction by Contour Crafting

Contour Crafting (CC) is a computerized construction method that 3D Prints large-scale structures directly from architectural CAD models. Walls are built up by forming their outer surfaces via extrusion of a paste-like material, such as concrete, and the use of a robotic trowel to provide a smooth contoured surface. CC is a very flexible technique, capable of constructing aesthetically pleasing "organic" curvilinear shapes as easily as "boxy" rectilinear shapes; and, as such, it has attracted strong interest from leading architects.
