“…The parts are built up layer by layer using an additive process without needing a forming tool (Wohlers, 2012;Singamneni et al, 2019). Contour crafting is a layered fabrication technology that appears to have great potential for the automated construction of small complete structures that include some of their subcomponents (Khoshnevis, 2004;Lee et al, 2019). It has been developed over many years as a viable building system and creates a smooth surface finish by releasing multiple layers of cement-based paste (Lim, 2012).…”

“…In the current decade, material technology has also attracted the attention of a number of researchers. The research conducted by Lee et al (2019) on the trends in 3D printing technology for construction has considered the research materials from the past 20 years and concluded that concrete was the most frequently used material in 3D printing in construction. Lim et al (2011) argued that high-performance building materials such as concrete are preferred because of the consistently high level of material control required during printing in 3D printing processes.…”

“…Similarly, the process of 3D printing is automated; the manpower required during construction can be reduced. In addition, environmental preparation and construction times can be significantly reduced (Buswell et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2019). In fact some of the 3D printing companies claiming that they can construct a house of more than 230 sqm in only 20 hours (ICFhome, 2019).…”

Due to its wider applications and advantages, 3D printing has attracted the attention of a number of industries in the past years. Although the implementation of 3D printing in many industries still has challenges, the progress in the construction industry is particularly slow. This article, therefore, attempts to explore the key factors that highly influence the 3D printing adaptation and implementation in construction. A qualitative research method considering the systematic review was adopted to achieve this aim.Relevant data spanning over a period of 20 years (2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019) considering four main databases were collected using specified keywords. A total of 137 articles were downloaded and 43 were finally selected after the screening criteria were imposed. The results from this review enabled to categorize the derived factors broadly into four categories including Technology, Organization, Environment, and Cost. Each of these main factors is constituted by sub-factors. An understanding of these factors would be helpful to develop effective strategies towards the adaptation and implementation of 3D printing in the construction industry. Since construction industry characteristics vary from region to region, the significance of these factors in different regions could be different and thus need to be investigated further.

“…However, from the perspective of cost structure, the three most recognized costs in construction are materials, manpower, and facilities. 3DP will reduce construction costs owing to its automation process, which reduces the labor demand and labor cost [26,32]. Moreover, 3DP can reduce the costs associated with site optimization and remedial work, and the price of 3D printers has also dropped.…”

“…However, to encourage more widespread use of 3DP in construction, nontechnical dimensions, such as cost, energy consumption, and health issues, must also be thoroughly explored because they will become important indicators affecting the application of 3DP in more mature stages of the technology in the future. Concerning the review method, qualitative and quantitative studies (e.g., scientometric analysis [31] and text mining [32]) are adopted separately. e qualitative study is a traditional review method that refers to in-depth discussion and analysis based on many manual literature studies or initial bibliometric analysis to summarize the state-of-theart review of a specific domain [33].…”

3D printing (3DP) is regarded as an innovation that contributes to automation in civil engineering and offers benefits in design, greenness, and efficiency. It is necessary to objectively analyze the current status and challenges associated with 3DP and identify future research directions to properly understand its construction applications. Previous research has focused more on the technical dimension of 3DP; however, the nontechnical dimension of the technology may hinder its implementation and thus must be paid particular attention to. This study presents a systematic review of the existing literature from both technical and nontechnical dimensions by combining quantitative and qualitative studies. The quantitative study was conducted using scientometric methods. The qualitative study analyzed information, including the technical research status and nontechnical challenges and trends. Two aspects of technical research status are presented, including materials and processes. In addition, nontechnical challenges and trends from the economic, environmental, social, and legislative aspects are proposed. This study provides a comprehensive agenda to advance 3DP in construction and proposes research interests, challenges, and future topics. It is intended to help construction practitioners systematically master existing processes and materials and assess the application degree and necessity of 3DP.
