Abstract
Cement-based materials have consistently played a pivotal role in the construction industry, lauded for their durability and structural resilience. However, challenges persist in the production of cement-based systems tailored to curvilinear geometries, impacting architectural and aesthetic designs. Common limitations encompass imprecisions arising from unskilled labor, prolonged timeframes associated with mold fabrication, unforeseen waste generation during construction, and uncontrolled production expenditures due to escalating labor costs and shortages. While 3D printing technology offers promise in alleviating such constraints, its integration in Thailand lacks comprehensive knowledge. This research presents a case study on a self-supporting curvilinear pavilion, outlining current benefits and limitations of additive manufacturing. The study contributes practical guidelines for designing and constructing curvilinear architecture through 3D printing technology.
