3D printing (or additive manufacturing) of concrete has been revolutionizing and remodeling the construction world. It offers digital, automated construction on Earth and beyond, but with the challenges of applicability and robustness. Leading figures from the concrete community worldwide review the state-of-the-art from properties, materials, and modeling perspectives, with case studies of... Read more
