Abstract

To meet current and future challenges in the construction industry, a new approach is needed. A possible solution for increasing efficiency and addressing environmental challenges is 3D printing technologies. This technology is the most possible option for widespread use in automated construction processes, but there are still many problems to be solved for their effective applications. One of the most important aspects is the connection with suitable material design. The main aim of this study is to show the current development of geopolymer materials for 3D printing technology. This chapter is based on a literature review that is supplemented by case studies. The main findings show that geopolymers could be effective materials for 3D printing technology for different applications in civil engineering as well as other areas. The usage of 3D printing can bring a number of benefits, including increasing work efficiency, enhancing safety, and reducing the impact on the environment.
