Abstract
The submitted paper presents the results of a 3-year research project in the field of adaptive forming technologies for freeform structures made of UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete). The focus of the research is found in the analysis and comparison of the developed robotic-driven formwork. During the research it was observed that the typical concept of process creation of a direct feedforward material formation can be combined or even replaced by feedback-based production processes. The different time points of material analysis not only allow for greater control but also enable completely new production methods.
