The use of Function Representation (FRep) to synthesise and specify geom-etries for 3D printing is finding renewed interest. The usefulness and exten-sion of this representation in the synthesis and analysis of geometries for the process of large-scale, layered concrete 3D printing has been previously articulated by the authors. This paper fully extends the implicit representa-tion used previously in shape-design to fabrication-related processing of compressive skeletal structures for realisation by robotic 3D printing of concrete. In particular, we use an initial value formulation of a propagating front to process the nodes and bars of a given funicular spatial structure.
