Additive Manufacturing in Off-Site Construction: Review and Future Directions [PDF]
Buildings, 2022 Additive manufacturing (AM) is one of the pillars of Industry 4.0 to attain a circular economy. The process involves a layer-by-layer deposition of material from a computer-aided-design (CAD) model to form complex shapes. Fast prototyping and waste minimization are the main benefits of employing such a technique.
