This International Conference on Construction 3D Printing (iC3dP) is co-organized by The School of Design and Environment (SDE), NUS Centre for Additive Manufacturing (AM.NUS), and Singapore National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC).

3D printing technology (3DP) has transformed manufacturing in a wide array of sectors such as the medical and healthcare, the precision engineering, and the aerospace industries. 3DP is creating higher efficiency in production and substantially reducing the cost of materials. It also holds immense potential in revolutionising the construction industry to improve building structures and eco-friendliness, with more choices of materials and building designs being able to be built at a lower cost. In the community level, construction 3D printing empowers nations to meet the growing demands for housing and sanitation facilities, and to rebuild cities after natural disasters in an unprecedented speed.

We are happy to announce the launch of the Construction 3D Printing Programme (C3DP) at AM.NUS to accelerate the adoption of 3DP in the construction industry. This programme is hosted under the School of Design and Environment (SDE) at NUS and is supported by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC). C3DP aims to develop sustainable materials, as well as 3D printing designs to facilitate rapid mass production of building structures.
