In this article „3D Printing in construcion” by Adam Kohut he

introduces us in 3 Printing of houses. He says that 3D printing  is the
computer-controlled sequential layering of materials to create three-
dimensional shapes. It is particularly useful for prototyping and for
the manufacture of geometrically complex components. It was first
developed in the 1980s, but at that time was a difficult and
expensive operation and so had few applications. It is only since 2000
that it has become relatively straightforward and affordable and so has
become viable for a wide range of uses
including product design, component and tool manufacture, consumer
electronics, plastics, metalworking, aerospace engineering, dental and
medical applications, and footwear. A 3D digital model of the item is
created, either by computer-aided design (CAD) or using a 3D scanner.
The printer then reads the design and lays down successive layers of
printing medium (this can be a liquid, powder, or sheet material) which
are joined or fused to create the item. The process can be slow, but it
enables almost any shape to be created.
In the construction industry, 3D printing can be used to
create construction components or to 'print'
entire buildings. Construction is well-suited to 3D printing as much of
the information necessary to create an item will exist as a result of
the design process, and the industry is already experienced
in computer aided manufacturing. Construction 3D printing may allow,
faster and more accurate construction of complex or bespoke items as
well as lowering labour costs and producing less waste. It might also
enable construction to be undertaken in harsh or
 dangerous environments not suitable for a human workforce such as
in space.

I chose this article because I am interested in a 3D printing in construction

The author states that this is the most future-proof construction method
and I agree with it 100% and I hope this project/idea will be continuously
improved in the future.
(1)What have you learnt from the article(s) you have read?
I learned a lot about development and the advantages of this method of
building houses, I think that the article can easily learn the basic
knowledge of 3D printing houses for those who are not interested.
(2)What are some important facts you have read about?
Printing houses is faster than building them regularly and is eco-friendly. It
does not cause much pollution and does not create additional waste. This
method can be used not only as a replacement for regular building
construction, but also as a complement to it.
(3) How do you see the future of the solutions/technologies
described in the text(s)?Do you think they will be improved upon,
replaced or that they remain the same ?
I see the future of this technology very, very well. It seems to me that the
construction industry will change by 180 degrees in the future and 3D
printing will have a huge impact on that, this technologii will replace
regular civil engineering soon
(4)Have you ever dealt with the solutions/technologies described
in the text(s)?
Before I moved from AGH to PWR, one lecturer got me very interested in
this topic and conducted classes on it. Unfortunately, I have never had
contact with this technology myself
