Additive Construction - The Path to Standardization

The event, Additive Construction – The Path to Standardization, will bring together industry stakeholders to discuss gaps in the current standard documents and how the industry can fill these gaps. Building on a previous engagement, Roadmap for Advanced Technologies for the Digitalization of the Construction Industry sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the current workshop in collaboration with the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), will include presentations, discussions, and breakout sessions directed towards the current state and desired future state for the additive construction industry, R&D needs, timelines, and action items. Topics will focus on the materials and testing methods related to cementitious additive construction and the needs of the industry with respect to engineering design, standards, and guidelines. Participation is expected to more of a hands-on in nature with active engagement from industry, government, and research organizations along with representation from several ASTM and ACI technical committees. Registration will be through application for attendance. The workshop discussions will contribute to the development of a roadmap for standardization of printing and testing methods.
