Abstract: 3D printing concrete is an emerging technology in which structures are made only using concrete in layers with the help of Software. With this technology, even geometrically intricate structures, heavy load bearing structures and hydraulic structures can be made easily in no time with less wastage of materials and minimum costs. It does not require any additional form-work during construction andalso the human resource required is comparatively less. It is a sustainable technology which can also be used for aesthetic purpose. This technology was invented by Charles Hull in 1984. This review paper is about the methods of using 3D printer in the construction field and its future trends.
Keywords: 3D Printing Concrete, Formwork, Sustainable Technology.
Scope of the Article: High Performance Concrete
