Abstract


The published researches concerning application of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in architecture and built environment have been reviewed to find out how AM processes affected these industries. From 150 cases of the published papers, the results and discussions of 68 cases have been included in this review paper. The review results have shown that concept modeling, built methods and construction processes have been affected and new avenues of research have been opened in the design of new materials. In addition, design of new lightweight materials by using AM processes has provided opportunity to customize old building envelope, too. This review has shown that AM will have a very good potential for research in architectural scaled conceptual modeling. Although contour crafting process has shown very good performance in 3D printing of concrete, developing new processes for reinforcing printed concrete is necessary to achieve mass production targets in construction industry.
