Abstract

Heritage structures in different geographic locations need customized repair and maintenance solutions. The conventional repair and maintenance solutions are inadequate because the level of degradation (due to environmental factors like chemical weathering, biodeterioration, etc.) for a specific heritage structure is different. In the past decade, the use of 3D printing-based innovative solutions has been explored by some researchers for possible application in the repair of heritage structures. The current practice for the repair and maintenance of heritage structures involves the application of adhesive-based solutions with the drawback of limited lifespan. This is due to challenges in the bond formed between the base material and the repair solution. This paper reviews the technological development reported for the 3D printing of thermoplastic composites based on innovative repair solutions for heritage structures. The material processing techniques used in the fabrication of repair solutions are different due to variations in the construction material of heritage structures (e.g., masonry, wood, stone, etc.). The structures face damage due to wars/attacks, and seismic and climatic conditions, and hence, the repair solution needs to be developed accordingly. The replacement of adhesive-based solutions with customizable 3D-printed snug-fit repair solutions may be considered a better approach for the repair and maintenance of heritage structures. As compared to the commercial retrofitting solutions available for the conservation of heritage structures, the thermoplastic composite-based 3D printed solution with acceptable bonding and sustainability may be used successfully as a snug-fit repair solution for heritage structures.
