About

Dr. Zeeshan Ahmed is a pioneering researcher in digital construction and additive manufacturing, with a primary focus on 3D concrete printing (3DCP). His work addresses critical challenges in scaling up this emerging technology from laboratory prototypes to full-scale architectural applications. In his highly cited 2016 study, "Design considerations due to scale effects in 3D concrete printing," Dr. Ahmed systematically investigated how scale influences key parameters in the 3D printing of concrete, using the design and fabrication of a full-scale pavilion as a case study. This seminal work revealed a significant gap between what can be digitally designed in CAD software and what can be successfully manufactured, providing foundational insights that have guided subsequent research in the field. With 21 citations, this paper has become a reference point for researchers and practitioners seeking to bridge the digital-to-physical divide in large-scale additive manufacturing. Dr. Ahmed's contributions are particularly valuable for advancing the practical viability of 3DCP in the construction industry, where his work continues to inform best practices for scaling up this transformative technology.
