BE-AM
Built Environment – Additive Manufacturing 2020 brings together international experts from research and industry. Since the first BE-AM Symposium in 2015, Additive Manufacturing has gone through a tremendous development at a breathtaking speed. A large variety of construction materials have been tested for additive processes in research and practice worldwide. Buildings have been printed in Europe, Asia, and the USA. This years’ BE-AM 2020 invites authors and readers to speculate and extrapolate how AM will change the construction industry in the coming years and decades.Furthermore, we want to exemplify and discuss strategies of integrating AM and 3D Printing into more extensive and more complex process chains. Within architecture and the building sector. Be-AM 2020 seeks to cover the full range from 3D scanning existing contexts to novel forms of ideation and design methodologies that fully exploit the newly gained potentials to finally materializing innovative constructions.
