Abstract

Three-dimensional printing

Concrete

Materials - Technological innovations

This dissertation introduces an overview of a study concerning the application of additive manufacturing which is widely known as 3D printing within the construction industry. 3D concrete printing is a new and pioneering technique in the construction industry that can be utilized for the manufacturing of small scale to large scale construction structures. If designed and utilized correctly, this technique has various advantages over traditional construction techniques and presents opportunities to significantly decrease time and cost. .. M.Ing.
