One of the main technical challenges of using 3D printing in construction is ensuring the quality and durability of the printed structures. Unlike conventional building materials, such as concrete
The use of 3D printing (3DP) as a digitalization tool in construction has shown great potential to raise the construction sector to the advances of Industry 4.0 (Ind 4.0). This technology can help reduce costs, promote higher safety, and maximize sustainable performance in the enhanced construction industry. This study seeks to understand the
Show abstract. 3D concrete printing technology (3DCPT) is a growing field of research, in part motivated by attempts to improve current concrete fabricating methods. Compared with traditional
A NASA Centennial Challenges program competition to build a 3D-printed habitat for deep space exploration. The multi-phase challenge was designed to advance the construction technology needed to create sustainable housing solutions for Earth and beyond. The competition, completed in 2019, awarded a total of $2,061,023.
The challenges currently facing adoption of 3D printing in construction are all common barriers when a new technology bursts on the scene—and they’re very likely to resolve over time. Equipment costs will come down as 3D printing becomes more common, more people will be trained to use the technology, and manufacturers will develop
