The main principle of 3D printing is that it is an additive manufacturing technique that dissents traditional subtractive manufacturing techniques. The advantages of concrete 3D printing compared to today’s methods are that it could be a cheaper, faster, and environmentally friendly manufacturing process. 3D printed concrete is a kind of mortar that can be used through a 3D printer layer by layer without any framework and vibration process. Its pivotal performance indexes, such as workability, setting and hardening time, and mechanical properties, can be optimized by materials selection and printing parameters.
