The construction industry has traditionally been slow, labour-intensive, and faced challenges in sustainability. However, recent advancements in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) offer promising
The most common 3D printing technology for construction involves a robotic arm that extrudes concrete while moving back and forth. Powder binding and additive welding are other methods used for 3D printing in construction. Powder binding involves the solidification of powder layers to create the desired object. Cost challenges. A fifth challenge of 3D printing in construction is managing the cost and profitability of the technology. 3D printing can save you money and time by reducing the material andThe introduction of digital manufacturing techniques, such as 3D printing applied to concrete material, opens up new perspectives on the way in which buildings are designed. Research on this theme is thriving and there is a high rate of innovation related to concrete. At the same time, the first life-size constructions made from printed concrete are emerging from the ground. This book presents
The current and potential role of 3D printing in the imperative fight against COVID-19 is also discussed. Moreover, the major challenges and developments in overcoming those challenges are addressed. This document provides a cutting-edge review of the materials, applications, and challenges in 3D and 4D printing technologies. These studies include those that explored the effects of 3D printing on the construction industry, the effects of 3D printing on the acceptance of integrated delivery systems, and the effects of
