About

Sven Engel is a pioneering researcher at the forefront of digital fabrication and sustainable construction, specializing in the automated manufacturing of advanced concrete structures. His work centers on integrating 3D printing, carbon-fiber reinforcement, and modular design to dramatically reduce material usage in the building industry. Engel’s most notable contribution is the development of the AMoRC (Additive Manufacturing of Reinforced Concrete) method, a novel 3D-printing process that enables the fabrication of reinforced concrete elements without traditional formwork. His landmark 2025 study on ribbed CFRP-reinforced concrete ceilings demonstrates that combining carbon-fiber reinforcement with automated fabrication can conserve significant amounts of concrete while maintaining structural performance—a breakthrough for sustainable high-rise construction. With 12 citations for this work alone, Engel’s research is gaining rapid recognition. He has also pioneered the extrusion-based printing of single-curved carbon textile-reinforced concrete shells, creating ultra-thin, corrosion-resistant structures that challenge conventional plate designs. Engel’s innovative approach promises to transform construction by making it faster, less labor-intensive, and far more resource-efficient.
