Objective
This proposal has been made by means of an Exploratory Award. The orientation to design in architecture results in very organic, well lit and light steel glass structures. This concerns facade designs, roofings, entrance areas and stairwells of buildings. The design proposals of the architects provoke the realization of new structural principles. Also, new design proposals are produced through these possibilities of construction. These synergies are inspired through the new cutting and joining processes, especially the CNC controlled water jet and laser cutting process as well as the laser welding process. With these processes it is possible to produce cost efficient and very flexible freely defined shapes, supporting elements and girder cross sections of an improved quality. This means going away from mass produced standard components with a low flexibility, to solutions especially geared to the design in question, by an efficient and intelligent use of raw materials. The objective of this project is to use the application of laser technology also in the building trade. Several inquiries at SLV Mannheim and the University of Karlsruhe from small and medium sized enterprises in the building industries on the application of laser technology show the high interest in this technology. A literature survey on the subject laser application in civil engineering carried out by the BAM (Federal Institute of Material Testing) Berlin in the scope of the preparatory phase for this research application, clearly demonstrates the research demand in this area. After completion of this 18 month research project, sufficient experience in the field of laser technology in civil engineering will be available, which enables the involved small and medium sized enterprises and research facilities to open a new European wide market.
