3D printing (3DP) is considered an innovation that promotes automation in civil engineering and offers advantages in design, sustainability and efficiency. With its potential to automate, eliminate formwork, reduce construction waste and improve geometric accuracy, 3DP has promising applications in the building construction and civil engineering. 3DP is an effort to put digital manufacturing into practice, enabling a direct transition from building design / modeling (BIM) to 3DP. This article provides various aspects of application in construction, materials and their compositions, as well as examples of the use of 3DP: buildings, structures, polymer sleepers, etc.
