CONTINUA

Additive Manufacturing (AM) with paste-like materials (e.g., clay, silicon) facilitates the production of large-scale structures, but it is particularly challenging for complex geometries. At the manufacturing stage, there is a high risk that the structure collapses under gravity, and defects appear due to repeated interruptions of the extrusion flow. In view of these challenges, prior work considers simple structures that do not take advantage of AM's full capabilities. CONTINUA will strive to fill this gap through the rigorous study of the space of manufacturable deposition paths to, ultimately, enable the AM of large-scale complex structures.
