Abstract
The main goal of this work is the analysis of the thermal and environmental benefits of 3D printing on building construction. Present literature reports a considerable number of benefits for 3D printing, namely reduction of material use, lower operational costs and time saving. Authors also mention design freedom, higher efficiency, productivity and quality. This work presents the most important advances in 3D printing in civil engineering, specifically, a critical review of the thermal and environmental benefits of 3D printing on building construction. The limitations of construction 3D printing with focus on large-scale applications, technology costs, mix development and optimisation and thermal behaviour will be, also, defined.
