Developments in artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics—including construction 3D printing, also called c3Dp or 3DCP—could address inventory and affordability challenges and materials and labor shortages while having a positive impact on sustainability and equity.
3D printing overview. 3D printing, also called additive manufacturing or additive layer manufacturing, is the process of building a three-dimensional object from scratch, one layer at a time. It generally starts with a digital, 3D model of the component to be manufactured.
Abstract. The limitations of traditional construction methods can be addressed by 3D printing, a technology that prints structural buildings in layers, which reduces labor, construction time, wastage of material, and the overall cost of the structure. This paper presents a literature review of the state-of-the-art of construction using 3D printing technology. We present a definition and a

Thermal resistant foam from polyamide 12 and fly ash spheres were researched and fabricated as possible insulation materials for automotive industries. These works and others have not only generated great potential for additive manufacturing technologies, but also provided solutions to critical challenges of 3D printing.
