Abstract

The traditional construction technology not only has environmental friendly problems such as noise and dust but also has resource-saving problems such as large template quantity and low construction accuracy. In addition, the traditional construction technology has an insurmountable technical bottleneck in the construction of special-shaped buildings. Building 3D printing technology can effectively overcome many problems existing in traditional construction technology and provide unlimited possibilities for the construction of special-shaped buildings. Concrete 3D printing technology is one of the most important technical categories of building 3D printing. In this study, the research status and progress of concrete 3D technology were reviewed from the aspects of equipment system, materials, defect control, and application scenarios. On this basis, the development foreground was prospected.
