Abstract
3D concrete printing in construction applications is an innovative and challenging area of research which combines the knowledge of traditional construction with digital fabrication. The elimination of formwork plus several other major benefits may trigger the industry to focus on this area in the near future. There has been increased attention on academic research and industrial applications in this area. This chapter briefly introduces the methods touted currently as well as the background of free-form construction.
