About
John Temitope Kolawole is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of digital construction and advanced manufacturing, whose work is reshaping how concrete structures are designed and fabricated. His primary research areas include 3D concrete printing, robotic manufacturing, and hybrid additive-subtractive processes for cementitious materials. Kolawole’s major contribution lies in developing integrated methods that combine robotic 3D printing with precision milling, enabling the production of complex, free-form concrete parts with superior surface finish and geometric accuracy—overcoming the traditional limitations of costly, inflexible mould-based casting. His most cited work, “Milling a cement-based 3D printable mortar in its green state using a ball-nosed cutter” (2021), has garnered 23 citations, demonstrating its foundational impact on post-processing techniques for printed concrete. In a related study, he explored the precision manufacture of concrete parts using integrated robotic 3D printing and milling, highlighting how this approach eliminates the need for expensive mould tools while ensuring repeatability and design flexibility. Kolawole’s research is instrumental in advancing sustainable, automated construction methods, offering practical solutions for creating bespoke architectural elements with enhanced efficiency and reduced waste.
