We use printers in our daily lives to print a number of documents but imagine if we could print an entire house. Sounds crazy, right? Well, not anymore. With the technological advances in the 3D printing technology, printing buildings is no more a pipedream. But what is 3D printing and how is this possible? Don't worry; this article will lay all your doubts to rest.

WHAT IS 3D PRINTING? 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating a physical three dimensional object from a digital model. This is simply done by adding the required layers one step at a time.

WHAT IS 3D PRINTING CONSTRUCTION? When this technology of 3D printing services is applied to construction of buildings and/or to create construction components, the process is called 3D Printing Construction (3DPC) or Construction 3D Printing (C3DP). Many renowned companies in the construction business have already adopted this technology and are using it to build houses, bridges, civil infrastructure, sculptures and several construction components.

HOW ARE 3D PRINTERS USED IN CONSTRUCTION? Before we discuss the other aspects of 3D Printing in construction, let's take a look at the various technologies being used in this sector. 1. ROBOTIC ARM EXTRUDERS
