About

Louison Poudelet is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and sustainable construction, with a primary focus on concrete 3D printing and hybrid fabrication technologies. His work has been instrumental in developing integrated additive–subtractive manufacturing processes for concrete, a novel approach that combines robotic 3D printing with material removal techniques to achieve unprecedented precision and surface quality in construction. Poudelet’s most influential contribution, his 2021 study on the life cycle assessment of integrated additive–subtractive concrete 3D printing, has garnered 73 citations, establishing a critical framework for evaluating the environmental impacts of these emerging technologies. In parallel, his work on concrete hybrid manufacturing machine architecture—specifically the design of a cable robot capable of carrying both additive and subtractive modules—has been cited 18 times and addresses key engineering challenges in scaling these systems for real-world construction. By bridging sustainability assessment with novel machine design, Poudelet is helping to define the technical and environmental parameters for the next generation of digital construction, making his research essential reading for students and professionals interested in the future of automated, low-carbon building.
