Dr. Inka Mai, Friedrich Herding and Professor Dirk Lowke from the Institute of Building Materials, Concrete Construction and Fire Safety (iBMB) at Technische Universität Braunschweig won the Best Paper Award for their evaluation of the use of methyl cellulose for selective cement activation. Their paper entitled “Evaluating the Effect of Methyl Cellulose on Hardened State Properties in Selective Cement Activation” convinced the panel of judges.

Yinan Xiao from the Institute of Structural Design (ITE) also received the prize for the Best Student Presentation. He presented the paper “Injection 3D Printing (i3DCP) Combined with Vector-based 3D Graphic Statics”, which was written by him and the co-authors Noor Khadher, Aileen Vandenberg, Professor Dirk Lowke, Professor Harald Kloft and Professor Norman Hack.

TU Braunschweig Core Research Areas

➜ There are four core research areas at TU Braunschweig: Future City, Metrology, Mobility and Engineering For Health.

➜ Clusters of Excellence: In the Excellence Strategy of the Federal Government and States in 2018, TU Braunschweig was successful with two applications. The two research projects “QuantumFrontiers” and “SE²A” will be funded for seven years starting in 2019. TU Braunschweig is involved in the “PhoenixD” cluster at Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH), which is researching new optical technologies.

➜ Research projects: The Collaborative Research Centres, Research Groups and Priority Programmes funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) play a special role.

➜ Research Centers: The research profile of the TU Braunschweig is characterized by several interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research networks, which are organized as centers.

SFB/TRR277 AMC: The Challenge of Large Scale

The Collaborative Research Centre/Transregio TRR 277 Additive Manufacturing in Construction (AMC) of TU Braunschweig and TU Munich aims with its basic research on additive manufacturing to significantly shape the digitalization of construction. Within the levels of materials and processes, computer-aided modelling, control, planning and construction, the AMC investigates resource- and energy-efficient as well as sustainable, recyclable and digital construction. Through innovative 3D printing methods, materials, processes and optimized design are completely rethought. The AMC is part of the Core Research Area "Future City".
