3D PRINTING CONFERENCE INNOVATION,
MODELLING, APPLICATION & IMPLEMENTATION
C
urrently in civil engineering, competition no longer
concerns the national sphere but is played at the global
level. It is therefore necessary to rethink the construction
process in order to make it as efficient as possible at the
productivity, environmental the socio-economic levels.
3D Printing in Construction is gaining popularity thanks to
the extensive research made and the raising interest by
construction professionals in innovation. The presentation
gives an overview of the latest advancements made in
3D printing in Construction (Figure 1 reveals the main 3D
Printing institutions and technologies that will be developed
during the presentation) and the future trends and
perspectives (what we will expect from 3D Printing in the
near and long terms). Based on this state of the art, some
commons elements emerges. The most critical one concern
the materials used for 3D Printing in Construction
