Automated Onsite Construction: 3D Printing Technology

3D printing is an innovative construction technology that has a significant positive impact on the environment. It addresses issues on speed, labor costs, accuracy, and efficiency. This study aimed to know the trend of construction technology in onsite construction. Specifically, examine the history of 3d printing; discuss the 3D printing form of onsite construction; identify the innovation patterns of 3D printing; and explore the impacts of 3D printing technology. Although 3D printing has been around for a long time, the construction industry has just lately been neither affected nor disrupted. In some parts of the world, 3D printing has changed the way that industries operate. It enables the construction industry to swiftly create models and prototypes, enabling them to test and perfect new products more quickly. It is a fully automated, well-planned method that boosts output while lowering human error. The discussion shows some benefits of 3D printing including decreased costs and time, less environmental pollution, and a decline in accidents and fatalities on construction sites. 3D printing is automated, digitalized, and renewable which impacts regulatory agencies, culture and environment, economy, and society.
