Teaching a Methodology towards a Sustainable, Affordable 3-D-printed House: Heat Transfer and Thermal-Stress Analysis

摘要

In the future, the tendency is toward manufacturing housing based completely on 3D printing because it decreases labor costs, speeds the process of construction and reduces the number of accidents at a work site. Department of Energy (DOE), and laboratories such as Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) are spending a lot to prepare a pipeline in the area of advanced manufacturing. The concerns are related to research, education and outreach.
