Additive Manufacturing Towards Sustainable Development
摘要
Additive manufacturing refers to the process of producing a structure or object from a Computer Aided Design (CAD) by layering material through a robotic printer. Its key advantages include efficiency in time, versatility in design, environmental friendliness, and the ability to operate in locations where human labor is not feasible. This technology speeds up the construction timeline, allowing for the creation of buildings with intricate architectural designs and facilitating substantial customization to fulfill particular needs, as the 3D printer can execute any given design continuously. Furthermore, it reduces the amount of material waste that is usually linked with conventional construction methods. Given its many benefits, additive manufacturing is set to transform the construction industry and is certainly the future of sustainable practices in this field on a global scale.
