Abstract

The construction and building sectors are labor intensive, have a shortage of skilled people, and face low productivity. The automation and digitalization of all relevant steps in construction and building may appear to resolve the issues. Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, uses computer-aided design data to build complex physical objects by adding material layer-by-layer without using dies, tools, jigs, and fixtures. AM is used in various sectors, including aerospace, biomedical, space, automotive, and others. More recently, AM has gained popularity in construction and building due to its tremendous benefits, such as design freedom, material saving, mass customization, fast prototype, and functional parts. In the construction industry, extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes, commonly known as 3D concrete printing (3DCP) are used. This chapter describes the 3DCP process, process parameters, materials and focuses on the construction applications. The challenges and prospects of 3DCP in construction and building fields are highlighted.
