building elements

The article provides an analysis of current approaches to 3D printing of buildings. It focuses on three key areas: 1) computer-aided design methods for 3D printing of buildings; 2) manufacturing methods and materials used; 3) methods for evaluating their effectiveness. The section "Design/Development" covers tools and techniques used from the design stage to the production of building elements. The Technology and Materials section looks at opportunities for engineering applications, categorized by material type.

Technological processes in all branches of production are maximally automated in the world, this also applies to construction. The main driver of automation of construction processes is 3D printing technology. The first driver was the invention of stereolithography technology, which was discovered in 1986 by American engineer Chuck Hull. The article describes the process of 3D printing technology, using different materials and printing principles.
