Tiivistelmä
3D printing techniques (also known as additive fabrication) have been increasingly used as an alternative in product manufacturing. These fabrication techniques are now being scaled up and adapted for full-scale fabrication within the construction industry. Potential advantages of these technologies include rapid construction, lower labor costs, in-creased accuracy, greater integration of function and less waste produced. There has been significant effort invested in the development of construction 3D printing techniques. Researches have demonstrated that construction 3D printing may be well suited for construction of extraterrestrial structures on the Moon, Mars or other planets, where environmental conditions are less conducive to human-labor intensive building practices. The original contribution of this research is survey of practices, literature reviews and emerging trends within the 3D construction printing, potentials, and restrictions. These practices and surveys have been tested through the design of unique architectural projects focused on fabrication using construction 3D printing.
