About
Peiran Yu is a rising researcher at the intersection of digital fabrication, structural design, and sustainable construction. Their key research areas include robotic 3D printing, formwork optimization, and the development of shell structures—architectural forms that achieve large spans with minimal material use. Yu’s most notable contribution is their pioneering work on integrating additive manufacturing with shell construction, specifically through the design and fabrication of 3D-printed formwork using PLA and robotic systems. This approach directly addresses a critical waste problem in traditional construction, where extensive formwork and scaffolding are discarded after use. By demonstrating that robotic 3D printing can produce precise, reusable, or minimal-waste formwork for complex geometries, Yu offers a path toward more efficient and environmentally responsible building practices. Their 2021 paper, "Design and Fabrication of Formwork for Shell Structures Based on 3D-printing Technology," has garnered early citations, signaling growing interest in this method. Yu’s work is particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring automation, material efficiency, and the future of sustainable architecture.
