From Concept to Reality: Transforming Architectural Visions with 3D Printed Concrete

Abstract

As global societies face profound environmental and economic challenges, the construction sector is focusing on the integration of smart technologies and the conceptualization of resilient infrastructures. Currently, low-carbon 3D printing concrete technology stands as a key innovation in the field of concrete, promising to reduce carbon emissions and enhance labor productivity. This study aims to explore the feasibility of using low-carbon 3D printing concrete technology as a channel for promoting intelligent and sustainable development in civil engineering. This paper will introduce 3D printing concrete from the aspects of printing methods, production materials, and mechanical properties. Additionally, it will discuss the current and future applications of 3D printing concrete and explore its potential use in building a smart and resilient future.
