N2 - The research project proposes a method for 3D printing felted fiber forms which act at the same time as reinforcement as well as a moldless form-determining agent for concrete parts. The process is twofold: In the first step fibers are densely packed and brought into the desired self-supporting shape employing a numerically controlled needle felting process. This builds on the work by Disney Research on 3D felt printing [1]. In the second step, the felted workpiece is infused with a matrix material like UHPC without the need for additional molding. This build on the Meshmould research by Gramazio & Kohler [2]. Our method allows to fabricate and reinforce complex UHPC parts without the need for molding. Most tangible applications would be in small parts such as connectors and joints. Later applications should be feasible at a larger scale employing a swarm of small to medium-sized mobile robots. The paper focuses on evaluating processes of applying a matrix to the fiber parts.
