- Speed of production: 3D printing enables extremely fast creation of building components, which reduces the time required for construction.
- Cost reduction: Less material waste and faster production lead to lower project costs.
- Design flexibility: Architects and designers can create complex and innovative shapes that would be difficult to realize using traditional methods.
- Automation: The 3D printing process can minimize the need for manual labor, which increases efficiency and reduces human error.
- Sustainability: The use of local materials and waste minimization contribute to greener construction.
Applications of 3D printing include the production of concrete blocks, entire buildings, architectural models, as well as innovative elements such as partition walls or decorative elements. Companies such as ICON and Apis Cor have already implemented projects where entire houses were built using 3D printing.
