The checklist
Document and design controls
- Approved IFC drawing/model revision identifies the wall or segment to be printed.
- Print file/toolpath revision matches the approved wall geometry and openings.
- Required printing-system qualification and trial-print acceptance are current for this operation.
Substrate and interfaces
- Foundation/substrate setting-out, position and levels have been verified against survey control.
- Starting surface is cleaned and prepared in accordance with the approved foundation-to-wall interface procedure.
- Required starter bars, dowels and anchors are in their approved positions before printing.
- Reinforcement, openings and service-embed locations are coordinated with the print path.
Printer and work-zone readiness
- Printer base, rails/working envelope and robot clearance are ready for the planned toolpath.
- Printer positioning, nozzle height and material-flow calibration checks are current.
- Required machine guarding, exclusion zones and emergency-stop checks are satisfactory.
Materials and environmental conditions
- Correct approved material/mix and traceable production batch are available for the planned segment.
- Required pre-print printability checks meet the approved qualified-process limits.
- Ambient conditions are within approved printing limits and curing/protection arrangements are ready.
Inspection release
