BE-AM

BE-AM | Built Environment – Additive Manufacturing is both a digital symposium and publication that brings together international experts from research and industry.

Since the first BE-AM Symposium in 2015 Additive Manufacturing has gone through a tremendous development in 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. The BE-AM symposium invites speakers and participants 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 larger and more complex process chains. Within architecture and the building sector. Be-AM seeks to cover the full rage 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

The symposium took place on Wednesday the 11th of November 2020, from 11:00 – 17:30 ECT at Formnext Connect with four sessions, video project presentations, and a roundtable discussion for all participants of BE-AM 2020.

Presentations

On November 20, 2019 the symposium BE-AM | Built Environment – Additive Manufacturing will take place at the Formnext, Frankfurt. For the fifth time, Prof. Dr.-Ing Ulrich Knaack (Institute of Structural Mechanics and Design, ISMD) and Prof. Dr.-Ing. Oliver Tessmann (Digital Design Unit, DDU) invite experts from practice, research and industry to explore the current status and future potential of additive manufacturing for construction and architecture
