RILEM TC Workshop
TOPICS
Quality and performance assurance of additively manufactured cementitious composites by advanced non-invasive techniques
The practical application of 3D-printed layered structures is advancing globally, but efficient methods to ensure their quality have not yet been established. We have initiated activities within the RILEM committee to develop and standardize such methods. We are planning multiple presentations on cutting-edge technologies and active discussions at IIIAE 2025.
