However, their construction faces many challenges. Among these challenges are: high cost of custom-made multi-curved surface formwork; traditional formwork construction for irregular cantilever structures has limitations, requiring the customization of complex formwork, which is costly and cannot utilize the internal support system of multi-curved irregular structures, making construction difficult and prone to formwork deformation or concrete pouring defects; low precision and difficulty in controlling errors in high-altitude construction; large errors in manual layout, making it difficult to achieve precise positioning of complex curved surfaces, and the cumulative errors in high-altitude cantilever structures can easily lead to structural instability; and numerous interferences in the construction of complex structures; the complex shapes of irregular structures make it difficult for traditional construction methods to accurately express the design intent, resulting in numerous interferences between various structures and construction machinery, requiring multiple pouring and curing processes, long construction periods, and poor finishing results. Summary of the Invention

Virtual Construction Simulation: Navisworks is used to simulate formwork, worker operating space, tower crane path conflicts, pouring sequence, concrete pumping pipeline layout, identify mechanical collisions and process conflicts, and adjust component segmentation, rebar avoidance spacing, and construction sequence based on simulation results.

S5. Develop a construction plan and implement it on site.

[0019] According to some embodiments of this application, in S1, during the design phase, BIM technology is used to create an accurate three-dimensional model to simulate a high-rise irregular cantilever structure, identify potential design problems, predict conflicts between different disciplines through collision detection, and simulate the printing process in the BIM environment to check for collisions between the print head and the structure and supports, optimize the design of temporary supports, and ensure the stability of the structure and the continuity of printing during the printing process.

[0020] It should be noted that structural analysis software can be integrated to perform stress analysis, assess the stability of the cantilever section, and adjust the design based on the analysis results to ensure that construction safety and structural performance requirements are met, while also adapting to the material properties of 3D printing.

[0021] According to some embodiments of this application, the component segmentation, rebar clearance spacing, and construction sequence in S2 are incorporated into the 3D printed micro-scale model, and problems that occur during solid assembly are marked.

[0022] It should be noted that before construction, 3D printing equipment is used to print according to the preset template design. Due to the accuracy of the template, it can be used as a reference to reduce errors during concrete pouring and improve the structural quality.

[0023] According to some embodiments of this application, in S3, 3D printing technology is used to generate the printing path of the segmented model. Combined with the physical properties of the printing material, the printing speed, layer thickness and angle are adjusted to reduce printing time and material waste, and to ensure printing accuracy and structural strength.

[0024] According to some embodiments of this application, the printing ratio in S3 is 1:20 to 1:50, and the materials include PLA, TPU, ABS and high-precision photosensitive resin. The layer thickness of the high-precision photosensitive resin is 0.05mm. 3D printing technology can be used to directly print irregularly shaped components based on the BIM model, avoiding the complexity and material waste of traditional template making.

[0025] According to some embodiments of this application, in step S4, after printing is completed, each segment is inspected for quality and then pre-assembled to verify whether its size and shape meet the design requirements. Precise positioning and connection technology is used to splice the segmented structure in the simulated site to ensure the accuracy and strength of the overall structure. At the same time, the real-time update of the BIM model is used to monitor the entire simulation process and adjust and optimize the construction plan in a timely manner.

[0028] It should be noted that data analysis tools are used to analyze the collected real-time data, and the construction plan is dynamically adjusted in conjunction with the BIM model. For example, the construction sequence can be optimized based on the structural stress distribution, and 3D printing parameters can be adjusted based on deformation to ensure structural safety and construction quality. At the same time, a visual interface can be developed to allow the project team to intuitively view the BIM model and real-time monitoring data. Through an interactive decision support system, the team can quickly respond to early warnings and adjust the construction plan in a timely manner to ensure the precise construction and optimization of irregular cantilever structures.

[0029] According to some embodiments of this application, it is necessary to construct the irregular cantilever structure on the facade of each floor of a high-rise building. This requires ensuring the positioning accuracy of the irregular cantilever structure at corner locations and the accurate installation of the internal support system of the irregular cantilever structure. This aims to reduce construction risks and improve the high-precision moldless forming and high-altitude assembly qualification rate of the irregular cantilever structure. This method achieves dynamic optimization of the entire construction process through dual verification using BIM virtual simulation and 3D-printed micro-model physical assembly; early identification and elimination of complex node conflicts and errors; one-time forming of the high-altitude curved hollow structure, reducing rework rates; proactive optimization during the pre-construction phase, forming a closed-loop feedback loop; and multi-curvature adaptive forming of the 3D-printed micro-model, optimizing the template assembly layout and reducing the impact of human factors.

[0030] In summary, this invention relates to the field of building engineering technology and discloses a construction method for high-rise building irregular cantilever structures based on BIM+3D printing technology. The method includes: establishing a parametric BIM model, inputting the arc equation, dimensions, and reinforcement arrangement rules of the cantilever structure, and automatically generating a three-dimensional model; simulating the formwork, worker operating space, tower crane path conflicts, pouring sequence, and concrete pumping pipeline layout, identifying mechanical collisions and process conflicts; adjusting component segmentation, rebar avoidance spacing, and construction sequence based on simulation results; specifying the model scale and materials for each segment using 3D printing technology, printing according to the BIM segmentation scheme, and marking hoisting points, prestressed ducts, and grouting port locations; simulating the high-altitude construction process, testing assembly gaps and node connection reliability; assembling multiple segments, recording problems encountered during assembly, and generating an optimization list; feeding back problems to the BIM model, iteratively correcting design parameters and construction procedures; and forming a construction plan and implementing it on-site.
