3D Concrete Printing Technology Current Progress and Future Perspective: A State-of-the-Art Review

Abstract

Abstract3D printing is a transformative window of opportunity to have a tremendous economic and societal influence over the next years. The technique, originally contained in the production of tiny objects, developed shape in the 1980s and moves into large-scale building application using concrete and additional cement and binding materials. This article offers state-of-the-art 3D concrete printing achievements in the field of equipment, materials and computer modeling. There will be several demonstration projects and potential and difficulties related to 3D concrete printing will be explored. Formulation of ink using local and local products is and will continue to be a serious difficulty. Further developments in large-scale 3D printers will continue. The review should be fascinating both to experienced engineers and beginners in 3D printing, even those focusing mostly on transition through current study to implementation of 3D printing in construction. This content covers evolution of 3D printing concrete with regard to its functionality, mechanical features and the construction plan, in attempt to implement 3D printed concrete reachable thoroughly. Furthermore, the applications of 3D printed concrete and its development have also been highlighted.Keywords3D concreteDigital concrete3D concrete printing technologyConstruction techniques3D concrete buildingsAdditive manufacturing
