It ambitioned to highlight the current requirements to build a 3D printed home and the various requirements contractors should take into account in the construction 3D printing process. It also demystifies a major misconception, buyers currently have with regards to costs in construction 3D printing.

Major points discussed include the following:

  1. Manufacturing:
    • Other manufacturing processes that can be a best fit for 3D printing houses apart from extrusion 3D printing.
    • The concept of digital inventory in the construction industry: the stakeholders involved and what needs to be done to make it work.
  2. Materials :
    • The challenges that may arouse in developing fully customizable 3D printable materials for construction.
    • The importance of taking into account geographical requirements and what these requirements can be.
  3. Standardization :
    • The current advancements at the standardization level
    • The next steps to achieve to move forward in the field.

The panel has been reinforced by a number of questions from the audience that were keen to learn how these technological advancements could be applied in their respective professional environment.
