Geopolymer concrete 3D printing using Fusion 360 as a slicer

One of my ongoing projects with RENCA company. Geopolymer concrete construction 3D printing with an ABB industrial robot.

At the first stage contour blocks without infill are printed.

Layer-by-layer geopolymer concrete 3D printing

Here we use Fusion 360 as a slicer. We import models into Fusion 360 then generate G-code using Manufacture workspace. The G-code is then transferred to RobotStudio where the RAPID code is generated.

With Fusion 360 it was possible to do both layer-by-layer printing and continuous seamless nozzle lift.
