Abstract
Technologies for materials and construction using 3D printing have been rapidly developed in recent years due to its characteristics and properties. It is potentially the answer to future construction and the industrial design industry. 3D printing is a recent technology that consists of additive manufacturing, and using it can help increase efficiency, decrease human injury, decrease industrial waste, and decrease the time of construction. This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the construction and material of 3D printing technology. This paper then concludes with some applications of the technology to show some of its uses. The paper also analyzes some directions for future progress. 3D-printing technology still has a long path to go through, and its development needs further discussion and arguments. The advantage of 3D printing technology is its high applicability and cost efficiency. However, this technology is new, and it lacks sufficient research. In the future, more improvement on the yield rate of this technology needs to be done.
