As cities grow denser and construction labor becomes harder to secure, the sector is under pressure to deliver projects faster, more efficiently and with fewer workers on site. In the past decade, 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has emerged as a promising solution to those challenges thanks to its high automation and formwork-free feature. However, 3DCP is still limited to non-structural applications for the built environment in Singapore.
