ABSTRACT
The paper explore the possibility of recycling post-consumer polymers from the Building & Construction industry (B&C), using Large Scale Robotic 3D Printing (LSR3DP) to produce bespoke building facade components. A case study is developed, in which a stock of Flexible Polyolefine (FPO) - resulting from the recycling of a roof waterproofing membrane - is transformed into a set of highly crafted façade/roofing shingles. The paper describes: 1) the material recycling process, 2) the material testing for LSR3DP, and 3) the fabrication of a 1:1 demonstrator.
