Revolutionizing Construction: the Dual-Edged Impact of 3D Printing

Authors: Dr. Aayushi Verma, Rajeev Mishra

Abstract: 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is transforming the construction industry by enabling faster project completion, reducing material waste, and offering design flexibility. However, it also presents challenges such as high initial investment, limited material choices, and regulatory uncertainties. This paper explores the opportunities and hurdles associated with implementing 3D printing in construction, drawing insights from recent innovations, case studies, and expert analyses. The discussion highlights how 3D printing is poised to revolutionize construction processes while emphasizing the strategic considerations necessary for its widespread adoption.
