Concrete 3D printing technology is used in the construction of offshore wind power stations

RCAM Technologies, a concrete 3D printing start-up, will work with IT service provider Accucode, inc. to develop large-scale 3D printed concrete structures for offshore wind turbines, foreign media reported recently.

The partnership is planned to complete preliminary work at the U.S. department of energy's national renewable energy laboratory (NREL) and further development at Accucode's Colorado springs site.

According to RCAM, the company hopes to halve the cost of conventional tower technology by using 3D printing in the development of towers and substructures for onshore and offshore wind turbines.

Previously, RCAM worked with the university of California, irvine, to develop and test a low-cost 3D printing method for land-based wind turbine towers, and received funding from the California energy commission Grant ck-17-023.The next step is to 3D print concrete for offshore wind turbines.

Nowadays, the research and application of concrete 3D printing technology are more and more, and the application in the construction of offshore wind power station is just one of them.In the United States alone, valencia technical university, Penn state university, the Massachusetts institute of technology and the Catalan school of advanced architecture (IaaC) are among those working on projects.In terms of applications, the U.S. Marine corps systems command and the U.S. army corps of engineers have begun using the technology for rapid construction of temporary barracks.
