ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING FOR CIVIL INFRASTRUCTURE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION: CURRENT STATE AND GAPS

摘要

Additive manufacturing (AM) has applications in several fields ranging from aerospace and consumer goods to the medical industry. However, applications of AM in civil infrastructure design and construction are very limited. Based on information shared at the NSF workshop on Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing) for Civil Infrastructure Design and Construction in July 2017, this paper summarizes the current state of the field, gaps, and recommendations.
