This webinar is Part 1 of a five-part series on Additive Construction by Concrete Extrusion, an emerging technology involving 3D concrete printing and its application in concrete construction. Based on the forthcoming ACI 564 Emerging Technology Report on 3D Concrete Printing, the series follows the report’s chapter sequence to introduce key topics such as foundational terminology, processing platforms, printable materials, quality control, case studies, and future research needs. Each webinar focuses on selected chapters and provides a structured overview of current knowledge, practical considerations, and ongoing developments in additive construction by concrete extrusion.

Part 1 webinar, Introduction into 3D Concrete Printing, introduces the foundational concepts covered in Chapters 1 and 2 of the forthcoming ACI 564 Emerging Technology Report on 3D Concrete Printing. The webinar will define key terminology, explain the basic principles of 3D concrete printing, and provide context for additive construction by concrete extrusion as an emerging technology in concrete construction.

1. Define key terminology associated with 3D concrete printing and its use in construction.
2. Describe the fundamental principles and main components of 3D concrete printing technologies.
3. Identify key considerations related to materials, processing platforms, quality control, and performance evaluation of 3D concrete printing.
4. Describe current applications, challenges, and future research directions for 3D concrete printing.
