In this study, the structural performance of the specimen fabricated through 3D printing was evaluated through monotonic loading experiments analysis to apply to 3D printed structures. The compression and flexural experiments were carried out, and the experimental results were compared to the finite element model results. The loading directions of specimens were investigated to consider the capacity of specimens with different curing periods, such as 7 and 28 days. As a result, the strength tended to increase slightly depending on the stacking direction. Also, between the 3D-printed panel composite and the non-reinforced panel, the bending performance depended on the presence or absence of composite reinforcement.

The educational method of physical computing, where students can experience software programming principles and practices while making concrete objects beyond outputs residing just inside of computer monitors, are drawing attentions. This current research sought an instructional method for pre-service teachers that they can experience 3D printing and modeling and at the same time they can understand programming principles in the 3D modeling processes. To achieve this aim, the TinkerCAD $Codeblocks^{(R)}$ was analyzed based on the computational thinking framework and a course utilizing the $Codeblocks^{(R)}$ to 3D modeling was devised. The designed class was applied to pre-service teachers and the students' perceptions of the class were collected by using a semi-structured survey. This study provides implications to software education for pre-service teachers as an instructional case that 3D printing is used to connecting computational thinking skills.

This paper aims at finding some lessons applicable to successful implementation of 'The 3D Printing R/D Project' through both examining the process of adopting overseas industrialized housing production technological knowhow by home builders during the 1970's~1980's period and thereafter until now the various efforts to adjust the technologies efficiently to the Korea's unique situation. Some meaningful lessons can be summarized as follows; I) Deep understanding of 3DP technological know-why along with its inheritance, II) Readjusting of R/D period and goals(cf. Global leader Winsun's 15 years experiment), III) Restructuring for more collaborative R/D B&E system among participating researchers IV) Fostering 3DP expert-engineers and technicians from the early stage, V) Clearing legal barriers in users' adopting 3DP methods necessary, VI) Development of appropriate building material besides concrete. Therefore, it is highly recommended that the above-mentioned 6 lessons positively accepted and applied to the Research Implementation Plan in due course, especially by KICT consortium and KAIA under the guidance of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

Appearance finish is important for amorphous buildings to maximize amorphousness, and GFRC, glass, and metal are mostly used as exterior materials for amorphous buildings currently applied. However, the existing exterior materials showed limitations in amorphous expression, texture, and color expression. In this study, a 3D stereoscopic panel mold was manufactured using the FDM method, one of the 3D printing technologies, and 3D stereoscopic panel production was reviewed using Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC), which has excellent physical and mechanical performance and expression. In order to overcome the limitations of unstructured expression, a UHPC 3D stereoscopic panel using the FDM method, one of the 3D printing technologies, was manufactured. Unlike steel molds, FRP molds, and EPS molds, the FDM method can be applied to various materials, and complex shapes are implemented. If it is used using recyclable materials as well as PLA filaments used in the FDM method, it will overcome the limitations of amorphous expression and activate the production of 3D stereoscopic panels that have secured eco-friendliness.

A hydrophobic surface increases the contact angle between water and cement paste. There are two methods to increase water contact angle, i.e. lowering the surface energy and adjusting the surface roughness of concrete. The hydrophobicity of concrete can be quantitatively evaluated according to the chemical and physical properties of the solid surface. So far, researches have shown the chemical properties of hydrophobic concrete, however it has not covered how to control surface. This study demonstrated the hydrophobic cement paste prepared by low-resolution molds printed with a 3D printer that exhibit rough surface. Thus, we presented the most hydrophobic characteristics of mold.

Interest in the exterior design of buildings has increased in recent years. Demand for various architectural structures is increasing. However, domestic form liner and design are still limited. Thus, this research uses 3D printers to omit the existing mold production process. Use digital data to produce products economically using various materials. It can be hoped that extending the lifespan of the concrete structure will reduce the cost of saving costs. The purpose of this study is to utilize the 3D printers to develop the design of a suitable formative shape for the purposes of the concrete. In this study, 3D printed form enables the possibility that the actual application is practical. Consideration for the artistic design of the art line was proposed for the purpose of considering the use of concrete structures for concrete structures.

Recently, free-formed construction technology is becoming a new measure of representing technological superiority and sociocultural ingenuity. However, the CNC processing technology utilizing the existing wood and iron form has limitations in terms of the manufacturing time and material cost. Therefore, in this study, the method and process of manufacturing free-formed EPS form using S-LOM-based 3D printing technology were suggested. Furthermore, through the mock-up test, a comparative analysis of the manufacturing time and precision with CNC milling technology was conducted. The results show that S-LOM-based 3D printing technology has reduced manufacturing time about 57.4% compared to CNC milling technology during the free-formed EPS form manufacturing process. In addition, compared to the design drawings, the maximum error value was 20.5mm, proving the applicability of S-LOM-based 3D printing technology. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the improvement of S-LOM method and the activation of S-LOM method by verifying the applicability of S-LOM-based 3D printing technology.

The technology of manufacturing freeform molds with S-LOM based 3D printer has advantages in the production period and the curvature range. However, there is no any support tool about productivity analysis of S-LOM technology because S-LOM technology is early-stage technology. There can be problems about increase of construction time and cost without any decision support tool like productivity analysis models etc. Therefore, in this study, the productivity analysis simulation model for freeform formwork based on S-LOM technology was developed using ARENA software. The process and logic of manufacturing freeform molds can be easily visualized in this model. Futhermore, the resource like labor, equipment and material can be easily optimized with this model. As a result, it can contribute to preventing the increase of construction time and cost in formwork with further productivity analysis.

Free-form buildings have a curved shape and are composed of geometric shapes, which require high precision. Therefore, this study proposed a new extrusion method, a piston method, that improves the precision of FCP by automatically extruding a predetermined amount of concrete by improving the aforementioned limitations. The technology to extrude a predetermined amount of concrete by applying pistons is expected to shorten construction period and increase economic efficiency by improving the precision and productivity of free-form panels.
