Abstract

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is becoming increasingly popular in the construction sector. However, much more research is needed before it reaches a level of use comparable to conventional concrete. Three-dimensional (3D) printing offers the potential to reduce costs, construction time, and construction waste. However, due to its high cement content, it is more expensive to produce. The article includes a brief literature survey on the possibility of using cement and aggregate substitutes in concrete mixtures and their impact on fresh composite properties.
