1. It is changing from Process-Oriented to Data-Driven:

Traditional construction follows a sequence of on-site processes.

In contrast, 3D-printed construction shifts toward a data-driven model, where the flow is:

Digital design → G-code conversion → Automated construction.

Seamlessly integrates with BIM, parametric design, and generative design. And it enables designer's intent is faithfully translated into the built environment.

2. Faster Construction & Simplified Logistics:

Since 3D printing fabricates structures directly on-site, material transport, storage, and assembly processes are significantly reduced. And it decreases overall construction time.

This approach is particularly beneficial in areas where conventional construction is difficult due to limited access to materials, equipment, or skilled labor.
