The long-term environmental impact of 3D printing holds immense promise in steering us towards a more sustainable future. This technology, by its very nature, encourages a paradigm shift in
The overall life cycle results have revealed that the 3D printing process has a lower environmental impact in all impact categories due to the modifications of the manufacturing process enabled by the implementation of 3D printing technology to produce SOFC stack, decreasing the impact around 95% for the categories Global Warming Potential
Abstract This paper provides a critical review of the related literature on 3D printing in construction. The paper discusses and evaluates the different 3D printing techniques in construction. The paper also discusses and categorizes the benefits, challenges, and risks of 3D printing in construction. The use of 3D printing technology offers several advantages over traditional methods. However
Technology like 3D printing has the ability to create something bespoke, and does it sustainably. It can also recycle materials that are more environmentally friendly. This is undoubtedly where
Developing strategies that can capitalize on 3d Printing strengths and help mitigate weaknesses and impact of threats of macro-environment. 5. Execution of the strategy and building a feedback loop, using which managers at 3d Printing can fine tune processes and strategies going forward.
Section snippets Background about 3D printing concrete. Construction industry exerts a significant influence on the environment. It accounts for over 36 % of global energy consumption, discharges 39 % of global greenhouse gas emissions, uses 12 % of global potable water, and generates over 40 % of solid waste, which is a crucial issue in developed countries [1].
Hyperion is now working to scale up this application of 3D printing and apply it to energy infrastructures with the aim to minimize the environmental impact of these new facilities and decrease
3D printing is a process of making three-dimensional objects layer by layer using computer-created files. It is a quite new building technique, especially in the construction sector. The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts of the sector. The innovative approach of 3D printing in the sector is combining traditional
