Abstract

As a rapid prototyping technology, 3D printing technology has been successfully utilized in medical treatment, jewelry, precision parts manufacturing, aviation and other fields. Meanwhile, owing to its feature of energy saving and emission reduction, it is attached high importance to in recent years. However, due to the problems of printing equipment and materials, and evaluation standards, the research progress of building 3D printing technology is far from sufficing the practical demand of large-scale manufacture in the construction industry. This paper starts with an introduction to the classification and development history of building 3D printing technology, explains its current research and application status, and propose outlooks for the prospective development.
