About 3DCP - 3D construction printing
3D construction printing is very flexible, from both design and materials perspectives; it allows designers to work on complex geometrical designs that would usually be expensive and difficult to achieve.
3D printing can improve resource efficiency as it has the potential to reduce the volume of concrete needed compared with traditional concrete casting techniques.
