How 3D Printing in Construction Can Benefit the Industry

Abstract

3D printing technology is showing major promise in helping to make the dream of homeownership a reality for everyone. The production of 3D printed material stretches far beyond the promise of concrete-based construction. The time spent on a build will be reduced dramatically using 3D printer technology. The cost of purchasing or renting the necessary equipment for 3D printing is a challenge to make adoption more widespread. For many, the cost of 3d printing is still a challenge. The lack of government regulation of this equipment will be another hurdle to clear. Merging 3D Printing technology will be a problem. The ultimate goal will be to have a unified building codes to allow for use of this technology. The final goal will also be to create a unified 3Dprinting building code.
