Executive Summary

3D printing for construction is among the most rapidly developing industries globally. Also known as building printing or contour crafting, 3D printing for construction is believed to be the future of the construction industry.

According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM), additive manufacturing or 3D printing is defined as the procedure of combining various materials to create desired objects by utilizing 3D model data, usually layer by layer. 3D printing for the construction sector entails the use of specially designed large-scale 3D printers that can deposit layers of construction materials, including concrete or other cementitious materials, to build up a three-dimensional structure based on a digital model.

3D printing for construction is considered a revolutionary technology that has the potential to transform the construction industry. 3D printing technology offers immense benefits such as time and cost savings, reduced material wastage, design freedom, and sustainable. However, much like other groundbreaking innovations having the ability to disrupt a conventional process, the overall 3D printing for the construction market is still maturing and needs additional time to settle.

Key companies involved in the global market include ICON, COBOD, SIKA AG, Peri Group, and others. The industry is also observing a proliferation in the number of startups and interest in legacy construction companies.
