3D printing is taking home construction to new heights. In Houston, a giant printer is building what designers say is the first 3D-printed two-story house in the U.S. The machine has been pouring

3D printing trends in building and construction industry: a review. ABSTRACT Three-dimensional (3D) printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is an advanced manufacturing process that can produce complex shape geometries automatically from a 3D computer-aided design model without any tooling, dies and fixtures.
Three-dimensional printing (3DP) has been rapidly evolving to be one of the leading technology fields in the coming decades. However, as in the early years of new technologies, 3DP suffers from technical limitations and various implications. This study focuses on the applications of 3DP in the construction industry, emphasizing its environmental, financial, and social sustainability aspects. A
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
3D printing, is a newly adopted technique in the construction sector with the aim to improve the economics and alleviate environmental impacts. This study assesses the eco-efficiency of 3D printing compared to conventional construction methods in large-scale structural fabrication. A single-storey 3D-printed house was selected in the United Arab Emirates to conduct the comparative assessment
Robotics and 3D printing are becoming more widely used in the field of construction industry. This paper reviews the work focused on the robotics technologies that aided for 3D printing in construction. Several aspects of them can be summarized as follows: (1) system composition and information flow, (2) robot workspace and motion planning, (3) control system and optimization of control mrKEl. 51 173 94 69 494 233 269 217 164
