3D Printing

An additive manufacturing process which allows for rapid prototyping, onsite parts or piping manufacture and a quick resolution of engineering issues. With 3D printing, certain aspects are poised for more growth than others, concrete being specifically one of them. In fact, the concrete 3D printing market is expected to be valued at $56.4 million by 2021, due to new innovative projects planned in construction. Example of a project includes Italy’s Expo 2020 Dubai team creating a replica of Michelangelo’s statue, David, by scanning the original statue and using that data to reproduce a 3D printed copy. They will combine photogrammetry and laser scanning to create the replica.
