Research on the application of 3D printing and BIM technology in the direction of bridges

Due to the multi-purpose and multi-collaboration nature of BIM technology, it makes the application of BIM not only the presentation of the structural model, but also the related construction progress and the embodiment of the construction process. It is this multi-functional use that makes BIM technology popular in the industry. 3D printing technology, on the other hand, when used in the field of engineering and construction, mainly prints out parts or all of the structure, and also ensures accuracy and speed. Linking the two will make the future of the related industry in a sudden development. Based on this, this paper will conduct an in-depth study on the application of 3D printing and BIM technology in the direction of bridges, aiming to promote the integration of the civil engineering field with the intelligent manufacturing scene and lay a solid foundation for the construction of modern society.

Tea Plants

Owing to their sharp teeth, crickets can eat through new shoots of the stalks of tea plants. Inspired by the special geometrical structure of the teeth of crickets, this study designed a biomimetic cutter to reduce the force and energy required to cut the stalks of tea plants. Therefore, four biomimetic cutters were considered: a, b, c, and d. Cutter a was a traditional cutter used for comparison with the other three cutters, which were biomimetic. The cutters were manufactured using 3D printing technology and assessed by a texture tester at different loading speeds (5, 10, and 15 mm/s, respectively). The results show that cutter c delivered better performance compared to cutter a at loading speeds of 5, 10, and 15 mm/s, respectively. However, at 15 mm/s loading speed, the maximum cutting forces required for cutters b and c were 9.43% and 6.04% lower, respectively, than that for cutter a (9.021 N). Similarly, the energies consumed by cutters b and c were 13.8% and 4.24% lower than that consumed by cutter a (1.225 J). In addition, cutter c delivered the best results compared to others. Based on the study results, it was concluded that the biomimetic cutters can thus help to optimize the tea harvest.

Construction 3D printing is becoming a significant force driving the transformation of civil engineering industry, but facing many problems for its immaturity. At the same time, the development of artificial intelligence and other advanced technology, especially BIM and virtual reality technology, provides new methods for solving these problems. Based on the defects of construction 3D printing and the advantages of these technology, this paper proposes a framework that combines artificial intelligence with construction 3D printing in five aspects: materials for 3D printing, automation design for 3D printing, digital construction for 3D printing, robots for 3D printing and BIM platform system for 3D printing. BIM platform system associates with the other aspects to work together efficiently during the life cycle of construction.

Technological Advantage

Color-jet 3D printing (CJP) technology-based machines are now being developed, and there is a need to identify the successful adoption of this technology for additive manufacturing (AM). Extensive literature review complemented with experts’ advice utilized systematically helped in the identification of 12 critical factors for the effective adoption of color-jet printing technology. A hierarchical structural model is developed using interpretive structural modeling (ISM) and analyzed using Matriced Impacts Croise’s Multiplication Appliquée a UN Classement (MICMAC). Identified software and the machine cost are primary drivers for this color-jet 3D printing machines (technology). The value of this technology is to provide the product at a lower cost and give useful applications in the area of medical, engineering and concept building. There is a need for developing better quality core material and post-processing material, further supported by enabling machine hardware and software. Accuracy and color texture of the part produced are essential to provide a technological advantage over existing technologies. Post-processing assists in a big way in imparting necessary properties to the part produced. Presently, the infiltrate/post-processing materials are limited, and for large-scale acceptability, one needs extensive multidisciplinary research and development. This research provides a structural model toward the adoption of color-jet 3D printing technology, which can also help users in evaluating this technology in broader AM framework.
