About
Yiwen Ma is a researcher at the forefront of digital fabrication and architectural construction, with a primary focus on integrating 3D-printing technology into the design and fabrication of shell structures. Their most cited work, "Design and Fabrication of Formwork for Shell Structures Based on 3D-printing Technology" (2021), addresses a critical challenge in construction: the excessive waste of formwork and scaffold materials typically required for large-span, multi-functional shell structures. By leveraging robotic 3D printing with PLA, Ma proposes a novel, material-efficient approach that reduces waste while enabling complex geometries. This contribution has garnered 2 citations, marking early recognition in the field. Ma’s research sits at the intersection of structural optimization, sustainable construction, and advanced manufacturing, offering a pathway toward more resource-conscious building practices. Their work is particularly notable for demonstrating how additive manufacturing can transform traditional construction workflows, making it a valuable reference for students and researchers exploring digital fabrication in architecture and civil engineering.
