About
Pshtiwan Shakor is a pioneering researcher in the field of construction 3D printing and additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on material science, robotic fabrication, and large-scale printing technologies. His work sits at the intersection of digital construction, cementitious materials, and automation, making him a significant contributor to the modernization of the built environment. Shakor's most influential contributions examine how printing parameters and material compositions affect structural outcomes. His 2019 study on nozzle shapes and fibre-reinforced 3D printed mortar, now with 135 citations, helped establish foundational knowledge about how geometric and material variables influence print quality and performance. Complementing this, his widely cited 2022 review of large-scale 3D printing using robotic arms and gantry systems, garnering 111 citations, provides a comprehensive roadmap for transitioning construction printing from laboratory experimentation to industrial-scale deployment. His investigations into deposition velocity and E6-glass fibre reinforcement further refine understanding of extrusion-based printing behavior. Among his earlier achievements, Shakor optimized concrete mix designs using a 6DOF industrial robot, demonstrating a forward-thinking integration of robotics and materials engineering. With a growing body of work accumulating over 340 citations, Shakor's research is actively shaping how engineers and architects approach digital fabrication in construction.
