Resource-efficient construction of steel structures using laser cutting and metal 3D printing<\/strong>
\"\"

Abstract:<\/strong> Construction industry is a resource, labour, and energy-intensive industry that must keep pace with the rapid development aiming to decarbonise our world. Laser cutting and metal 3D printing techniques have opened new perspectives in many industries (e.g., aerospace, automotive), providing resource-efficient solutions thanks to the geometric freedom and digitalisation. The construction industry also could benefit from these advanced manufacturing methods; however, the major obstacle is the lack of technical experience, formal standards, and regulations in the construction sector. Dr Alper Kanyilmaz will present his research team\u2019s findings in the field of robotic steel construction, and discuss the potentials of the laser-cutting and metal 3D printing techniques in reaching resource-efficient and elegant construction products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Bio:<\/strong> Alper Kanyilmaz is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construction Engineering of Politecnico di Milano in Italy. His research goal is to explore new structural systems using steel, and contribute to the construction sector\u2019s transition toward a digitalised and sustainable production of safe and elegant structures requiring less material and energy consumption.
He is studying the following topics<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
