Abstract
The objective ofthis paper is to present a reflection on the use ofAdditive manufacturing in construction. In this research examples from manufacturing industries are presented. Some Advantages of additive manufacturing in industry were identified. Relevant cases used to promote AM for construction are: building rate improvement and schedules shortening. This study investigated these advantages in three parts. Firstly, a comparison between construction and manufacturing industry was presented. Secondly, Design and Building rate for construction were studied using data from a French construction company. Finally a comparison was made between conventional processes and Additive manufacturing. Conventional processes included prefabrication and casting on site. Results showed that pre-casting may be faster than AM in some cases. Time saving is not necessary the best advantage from applying additive manufacturing to construction.
