The construction sector is facing several challenges, amplified recently with the onset of the pandemic.  Labor shortages, increased lead times, material availability, and increasing construction demand have the sector resorting to innovation to address these challenges. Increasingly, construction market players are turning to 3D printing technologies.

  • What is 3D Printing for construction, also called Additive Construction?
  • What does the adoption landscape look like?
  • Who are the current market players?
  • What materials are being used and explored?
  • What are the challenges and how are they being addressed?

These questions and more are covered in this publication available in digital format.

The report was created by a team of experts at Wohlers Associates—the same group that produced Wohlers Report 2022, the undisputed, industry-leading report on AM for 27 years.
