About

Hans Lindemann is a pioneering figure in digital construction, whose work has fundamentally advanced the field of additive manufacturing with concrete. His primary research focuses on the development of Shotcrete 3D-Printing (SC3DP), a groundbreaking technology that merges the speed of shotcrete application with the geometric freedom of 3D printing. Lindemann’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that this method can produce large-scale, reinforced, freeform concrete structures without the need for formwork—a paradigm shift that promises to reduce material waste and labor costs in construction. His seminal 2018 paper, "Development of a Shotcrete 3D-Printing (SC3DP) Technology for Additive Manufacturing of Reinforced Freeform Concrete Structures," has garnered over 80 citations, serving as a foundational reference for researchers and engineers exploring automated construction. Beyond this core achievement, Lindemann’s work has influenced the integration of reinforcement strategies into printed concrete, addressing a critical challenge for structural integrity. His research continues to inspire a new generation of architects and civil engineers, positioning him as a key innovator in the transition toward more sustainable, digitally-driven building practices.
