The construction industry is currently transforming under the dual imperatives of digitisation and decarbonisation. Digital Manufacturing of Earth Construction (DMEC) is emerging as a sustainable alternative to traditional building methods, offering solutions to environmental challenges while improving efficiency. This chapter provides a progress review of DMEC from 2021 to 2024, focusing on three key domains: manufacturing technologies, material and performance aspects, and research reliability and visibility. Serving as a “Checkpoint 2.0,” this chapter builds on previous review by authors, aiming to consolidate critical information to support the broader adoption of digital earth construction techniques. The review highlights significant advancements, such as the development of hybrid systems and enhanced earthen mixtures. It also examines the increasing interest from industry and government stakeholders in scaling up DMEC for industrial applications. The digital earth construction framework has evolved from initial proofs-of-concept to full-scale prototypes, marking a significant step toward commercial viability.

摘要

The construction industry is currently transforming under the dual imperatives of digitisation and decarbonisation. Digital Manufacturing of Earth Construction (DMEC) is emerging as a sustainable alternative to traditional building methods, offering solutions to environmental challenges while improving efficiency. This chapter provides a progress review of DMEC from 2021 to 2024, focusing on three key domains: manufacturing technologies, material and performance aspects, and research reliability and visibility. Serving as a “Checkpoint 2.0,” this chapter builds on previous review by authors, aiming to consolidate critical information to support the broader adoption of digital earth construction techniques. The review highlights significant advancements, such as the development of hybrid systems and enhanced earthen mixtures. It also examines the increasing interest from industry and government stakeholders in scaling up DMEC for industrial applications. The digital earth construction framework has evolved from initial proofs-of-concept to full-scale prototypes, marking a significant step toward commercial viability.
