The cutting-edge method of 3D printing construction uses large-scale 3D printers to create buildings and structures layer by layer utilizing materials like concrete, polymers, or other specialized materials. A digital model of the structure is created at the beginning of the process using computer-aided design (CAD) software. The chosen material is then extruded by the 3D printer using this model in precisely calibrated layers to form the building's walls, floors, and other elements.

Driving Factors- In response to the needs of governments and urban planners seeking to create contemporary, technologically advanced spaces, 3D printing is becoming more and more popular in the construction industry as cities across the world grow and modernize. In 2023, there will be more than 140 smart cities globally, according to the United Nations (UN). According to UN estimates, 70% of people on Earth will live in smart cities by 2050. The need for quick, sustainable building solutions to support growing urban populations is increasing as a result of the world's ongoing fast urbanization, especially in Asia and Africa. These needs are satisfied by 3D printing, which makes it possible to quickly create residential complexes and multi-story buildings inside cities. The objectives of urban planning, which are to create cities that are more intelligent, resilient, and sustainable, are effectively served by this technology.

Challenges- Numerous problems are impeding the use of 3D printing in the building sector. Among the primary issues are the high initial cost of 3D printers and the particular materials required, which make it a significant investment for companies. Furthermore, scaling the technology for complex, large buildings remains difficult despite its continuous development. Because there are no established legal and regulatory frameworks for 3D-printed structures, building codes, safety requirements, and certification processes are uncertain. Furthermore, because 3D printing requires skilled operators to handle the technology and software, its accessibility may be restricted even though it can reduce labor costs. Constraints in the supply chain, such the cost and availability of suitable printing materials, can pose difficulties.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on the global 3D printing construction market, both positively and negatively. The first factors that affected the market were delays in raw materials, supply chain disruptions, and the temporary shutdown of construction sites because of lockdowns and safety measures. Labor shortages, social distancing regulations, and government-imposed restrictions all had a major detrimental effect on the building sector overall. These elements slowed down the pace of 3D-printed construction projects and made it more difficult for new technology to be adopted. However, the pandemic also raised awareness of 3D printing's potential benefits for the construction sector, such as its ability to decrease labor costs, cut down on material waste, and deliver faster, more efficient building processes.
