3D concrete printing is an advanced and innovative method used to construct building components with the help of 3D printers. It is a form of additive manufacturing that is used to construct buildings or components in entirely new shapes not previously possible with traditional concrete formwork. It allows the construction of 3D printed structures such as bridges and houses. 3D printing allows construction time optimization, construction with flexibility, error, cost, and environmental factors reduction. 3D printed concrete is a special type of high-performance concrete that can be released layer-by-layer through a 3D printer with no framework or any vibrations. Moreover, 3D concrete printing paves the way for infinitely rich decor with new shapes and elements and reduces waste, compared to traditional concrete formwork, in which new constructions are more expensive. 3D concrete printing technology provides immense speed to ease construction structures with high-performance concrete. However, a lack of awareness about this technique and the high initial cost associated with this technology can become a hindrance to this technology. The United States Armed Forces has 3D printed a barracks, in around two days, out of high-performance concrete at army base. Moreover, Singapore is exploring several tech initiatives to improve safety standards and building efficiency in Singapore's construction industry. Singapore's houses might be fully 3D printed in the future. Furthermore, an Italian architect has also designed an incredible 3D-printed igloo-shaped house in Italy, for a 3D printed houses project.

Contour Crafting (CC) is a layered fabrication technology developed by Dr. Behrokh Khoshnevis of the University of Southern California. Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single run, embedded in each house all the conduits for electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning.
