| Abstract | ||
| The construction industry is undergoing a transformation with the rise of 3D printing technology, offering cost-effective, efficient, and environmentally sustainable building solutions. This paper presents a systematic review of 3D printing in construction, focusing on its technological evolution, material advancements, and implementation barriers. An analysis of academic research from 2020 to 2025 highlights current trends, including multi-material systems and AI integration, and identifies critical challenges such as regulatory gaps and material limitations. The study synthesizes global case studies to evaluate feasibility, efficiency, and sustainability metrics. The findings highlight the expanding global interest in 3D printing, demonstrating its increasing viability for scalable industry applications, ranging from residential to infrastructure projects. Ultimately, this study contributes to advancing the integration of 3D printing in modern construction practices, emphasizing its potential to improve construction timelines, reduce resource consumption, and enhance project delivery. | ||
