Conventional Construction and 3D Printing in Jordan: Comparison Study on Material Cost

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a procedure used to create 3D objects in which consecutive layers of material are computer-controlled produced. Such objects can be constructed in many shapes digitally and recognized as additive manufacturing, additive fabrication, additive processes, direct digital manufacturing.  The 3D concrete printing was described in terms of geometry, conducted experimental research, and the difficulties of construction.  The 3D printed structures are obtained and the construction challenges facing, the Jordan is an appropriate example, that is encouraged. Finally, a precise description regarding the impact of 3D printing is provided by comparing conventional construction data of Ras Alain Multipurpose Hall in Jordan and the expected data if the same building has been built using 3D printing. Contour crafting is a unique construction process that was developed to change the construction from the conventional method to a layer-by-layer method.

It is pertinent to review the state-of-the-art studies of the advances in 3D printing procedures. The investigation of the impact of 3D printing is applied by comparing the concrete cost of conventionally built Ras Alain Multipurpose Hall in Jordan with the cost if it was built using 3D printing.
