摘要: |
This research conducts a systematic review of the viability of 3D-printed construction to investigate whether it is now or could be a viable replacement for conventional construction methods, specifically in remote environments where conventional construction capability may be limited. This research then evaluates seven key viability factors materials, structural design, process efficiency, logistics, labor, environmental impact, and cost as they apply to two recent, military run 3D-printed construction case studies. Finally, this research suggests areas in which further research and development is needed in order to ensure the effectiveness of 3D-printed construction in the expeditionary environment. |
