Abstract

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, also known as 3D-printing systems, have been rapidly gaining popularity in the construction industry. Recent developments in additive manufacturing technologies indicate that large-scale 3D printing systems have significant potential for providing a fully automated construction. The applicability of 3D printing on the construction scale is analysed in the paper in terms of AM methods and materials.
