Finds documents with exactly this word group, in exactly this word order and spelling (e.g. "employer branding").
Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the transformative impact of 3D printing technology on the construction industry, focusing on its benefits and challenges. It explores how 3D printing can address labour shortages and high material costs, while also enabling the creation of complex architectural designs with high precision. The text discusses the use of sustainable materials like geopolymer concrete and recycled plastics, which contribute to reduced CO2 emissions and construction waste. Additionally, it highlights the potential for significant cost savings, with studies indicating a 60% reduction in building costs compared to traditional methods. The chapter also examines the regulatory and technical challenges that need to be overcome for widespread adoption, including the development of suitable materials and the alignment of building codes with new technologies. Practical applications of 3D printing in construction are explored, including residential buildings, infrastructure projects, and emergency housing. The text concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and supportive regulatory frameworks to fully realize the potential of 3D printing in the construction industry.
