Análise da implementação da impressão 3D na construção civil em âmbito global e nacional

Abstract

This work is a bibliographical study of the implementation of 3D printing technology applied to civil construction at a global and national level. Through this, it is sought to study and disseminate the technology to the community in general, providing an analysis of the impacts of its implementation and enabling it to be considered as an option among existing construction methods. The research is based on the study of the historical evolution of 3D printing technology and its applications in different areas. Subsequently, it follows the study of the technology applied, specifically, to the civil construction sector, where the techniques employed, their characteristics, the materials used as raw material as well as the limitations of both the technique and the 3D printer itself are observed. Finalizing the bibliographic study with the study and analysis, in depth, of the implementation of 3D printing in the civil construction sector at a global level. Based on the theoretical basis of the theme, an application of 3D printing technology to the construction industry is demonstrated through physical models for understanding and compatibilizing the structural masonry project. The analysis of aspects such as manpower, time of execution, technology used, costs, quality of construction and environmental impact that the implementation of 3D printing technology applied to the sector is able to promote shorter times, less waste and greater control of the general process of construction by managers, and as initial costs tend to fall, their use tends to become more economically viable.
