The “MoQuaDo-3D” research project is being carried out in collaboration with the Dresden-based company TragWerk Ingenieure Döking+Purtak GmbH. The project is funded by the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs (ZIM) and aims to develop an automated, sensor-based monitoring and quality assurance system for 3D concrete printing. It addresses the current lack of real-time monitoring and documentation of geometric accuracy during the printing process. At the heart of the project is the integration of suitable sensor technologies (e.g. laser triangulation, photogrammetry) for the precise measurement of freshly printed filaments directly at the print head. The captured data is processed in real time, stored and compared with the digital planning model (BIM) to detect deviations at an early stage and enable adaptive process control. A digital twin of the structure is created, containing geometry, material and process data. The modular system architecture comprises printing robots, sensor data processing, a web server with a process validator, and a web-based BIM front-end. Target groups include construction companies, printing service providers, design offices and machine manufacturers. The solution is intended to be manufacturer-independent, scalable and transferable to other automated construction processes. This will enhance the industrial applicability of 3D concrete printing and enable legally compliant documentation for construction supervision and subsequent maintenance.
