3D printers can construct buildings without formwork (the concrete molds that cement is typically poured into), which can significantly reduce overall use of the material.
After careful planning, and with approvals in place from city authorities, formwork systems manufacturer PERI delivered One Vanderbilt's core forming system under the cover of darkness to avoid disruption.
经过精心规划,并政当局批准,板系统制造商 PERI 在连夜下交付了 One Vanderbilt 核心成型系统,以避免项目中断。
However, forming the tower's core after the steel frame had been erected created further logistical challenges — with the core's formwork needing to be small enough to navigate through the steel structure to the core's location.
As each storey of the core is completed, PERI's innovative climbing sequence transfers the load of the formwork system from the upper working brackets, shown here in red, to the lower climbing brackets, shown in yellow.
