Abstract
The construction industry has experienced a number of transformations due to the use of digitalization and automation. Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a current example. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the use of natural materials based on soil applied to 3D printing technology, with a focus on the thermal performance of buildings. A exploratory literature review was used to identify applied research that has explored these materials. The data obtained was systematized in a comparative table to identify the main strategies used. The analysis of applied research indicates that construction using 3D printing with materials based on soil is promising, taking advantage of the soil's natural thermal insulation properties and being able to incorporate parametric design and digital fabrication strategies to create complex, customized solutions for different contexts.
