construction-scale 3D printing? - correct answer ✔✔In-situ materials such as lunar regolith or sulfur-
based concrete
What are the main performance requirements of printable concrete? - correct answer ✔✔Extrudability
and shape stability
In concrete 3D printing, interlayer adhesion (bonding) can be negatively influenced by a prolonged
interlayer time gap - correct answer ✔✔True
, Contour crafting can be classified as a power bed fusion 3D printing technology - correct answer
✔✔False
Fused deposition modeling is a 3D printing technology based on material extrusion, and uses thermal
energy - correct answer ✔✔True
Construction 3D printing is an automated construction technology based on specially-designed
cementitious mixtures and can only be used for on-site construction - correct answer ✔✔False
The software workflow in construction 3D printing includes - correct answer ✔✔CAD models > 2D layers
> Toolpath planning > Sending G-code file to the robot
The positioning accuracy of gantry robots is typically lower than robotic arms (articulated robots) -
correct answer ✔✔False
Why "rebar reinforcement" is not considered as an acceptable reinforcement technique in construction
3D printing - correct answer ✔✔It is very difficult to automate rebar installation, and manual rebar
reinforcement is not compatible with an automated construction process

✔✔Progressive cavity pump
Delta 3D printers consists of three arms on rails that move up and won independently to move the
printhead - correct answer ✔✔True
What are the typical main subsystems of a construction 3D printing system? - correct answer ✔✔3D
printing robot, material preparation, material delivery, control system

the same - correct answer ✔✔False
What are the main functions of an ideal software system for construction 3D printing? - correct answer
✔✔Controlling, coordinating, and monitoring the subsystems
