About

Florindo Gaspar is a researcher at the forefront of sustainable construction technologies, with a primary focus on additive manufacturing and the circular economy in the built environment. His work centers on integrating 3D printing into construction processes, particularly through the innovative use of industrial by-products. Gaspar’s most impactful contribution, "3D Printing Technology in the Construction Industry" (2020, 17 citations), provides a foundational overview of the field, examining the technical and material challenges of scaling additive manufacturing for real-world building applications. He further advances this area with "3D Printing for Construction Using Stone Sludge" (2020, 2 citations), a pioneering study that explores the valorization of stone processing waste as a printable construction material—offering a path toward reducing landfill waste and lowering the carbon footprint of concrete. By demonstrating that stone sludge can be repurposed for 3D-printed structures, Gaspar bridges material science and environmental engineering. Though his citation counts are modest, his work is highly relevant to the growing demand for low-impact, automated construction methods, positioning him as a key contributor to the development of eco-friendly additive manufacturing in the building sector.
