ERU will develop Environmentally-friendly Building Materials that can be produced with 3D Concrete Printer
As part of the Research Universities Support Program (ADEP), the faculty members of ERU Faculty of Engineering will develop environmentally-friendly building materials that can be produced with 3D concrete printer.
The project team aims to develop environmentally-friendly hybrid and cement-free ultra-low carbon emission building materials by utilizing the potential of 3D printing technology in the construction industry.
In addition, the project will take advantage of the potential of 3D concrete printer technology in the construction industry to offer a fast manufacturing process, reduced labor requirements, customizable designs and an environmentally-friendly method by creating less waste.
Supported by ADEP to increase the research capacity of our country and to encourage universities that can conduct scientific studies at international standards, this project will provide a crucial impetus to the development of environmentally-friendly construction technologies in both academic and construction sectors.
This success demonstrates the university's commitment to scientific research and its vision to develop environmentally-friendly solutions.
