Features and prospects of using additive technologies in architecture

Abstract

The article considers the features of the use additive technologies in architecture, which in the future will have a significant impact on the revolutionary development of the construction industry. Exploring the prospects of additive technologies (3D printing) in architecture, this publication aims to determine its transformational potential in solving housing needs, promoting the sustainable development of Ukrainian cities and stimulating the innovative development of the construction industry. Considering the features of the use of 3D printing in construction and its diversity of use - the need for widespread implementation, taking into account all the advantages and disadvantages are substantiated. It has been established that the part of structures in the world fully or partially built using 3D printing technology is growing annually, which actualizes interest not only in the development of technology in general, but also in the experience of its use. Having analyzed the world experience of using additive technologies in housing construction, the prospects of this direction of construction in the reconstruction of Ukrainian cities have been established. The use of building 3D printers, thanks to the rapid process of erecting houses, will allow in a short time to increase the housing stock and rebuild the destroyed cities. Advantages of additive production are considered. One of them is the ability to create complex shapes and structures that would be difficult or even impossible to manufacture by traditional methods. In addition to the speed of construction, the advantage also - is eco-friendliness. The use of additive technologies can help reduce carbon emissions, especially if environmentally friendly materials are used. It is also possible to reduce energy costs for the construction and transportation of materials. Given these advantages, additive technologies are becoming an increasingly important tool in modern architecture, allowing architects and researchers to implement more ambitious and innovative projects.
