Summary
Impact printing is a novel robotic building method for constructing full-scale, freeform structures with a custom earth-based material.
In contrast to layer-based 3D printing, this robotic construction method is based on controlled, high-velocity deposition of dense material. By depositing material at velocities up to 10 meters per second, the process can achieve interlayer bonding between multiple courses.
