Abstract

Additive manufacturing, widely known as 3D printing technology, has taken the world by storm, capturing the attention of researchers, engineers, architects, and investors alike. With the ability to transform a mere drawing into a physical object, 3D printing can change the game in various industries. However, the challenge lies in implementing this technology effectively with limited resources. That's where this study comes in - it sheds light on the breakthrough projects produced by a 3D concrete printer. From the iconic university structure to stunning furniture for interior and exterior spaces and even a small-scale village. This study showcases the possibilities of 3D concrete printing technology. By delving into practical techniques such as design, software manuals, slicing model methods, and visual appearance, this study provides valuable insights for anyone interested in this groundbreaking technology. The practical techniques in the printing process related to design, software manuals, slicing model methods, and the visual appearance of a specific model will be discussed.
