THE PROSPECT OF USING 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS IN UKRAINE

The article highlights the prospects of using 3D printing technology for the construction of residential buildings in Ukraine. The origin and initial use of 3D printing technology in the construction industry took place in the 80s of the last centuries. The first house project was implemented using 3D printing in 2014. The author cites data from Grand View Research showing a significant growth in the global 3D printing market, which is due to active research and development of three-dimensional printing and growing demand in the world. The article provides examples of global experience in the implementation of houses using 3D printing, namely the habitat for sustainable living by the Italian company WASP© 3D Natives under the TECLA project. The advantage of this project is the integration of local resources for the implementation of the object. This approach is environmentally friendly and speeds up the construction process. The article also describes and analyses the C3PO project by Kamp C. The house was 3D printed by the German COBOD BOD2 printer. The article highlights a number of features and advantages of the COBOD BOD2 printer. The article presents the Dutch experience of 3D printing a building. The project of a house in Eindhoven is called Milestone. The advantage of this example of building a house with a 3D printer is the ability to print the entire building without the need for secondary structures and the cost-effectiveness of the exterior and interior of the building. The article discusses the largest 3D printed building in Dubai. This version used local materials and efficient insulation to reduce energy consumption. The building was printed in extreme conditions. The scale of the building makes it possible to quickly address mass needs. Based on the material covered, the author summarizes the positive experience and successful integration of 3D printing technology in the construction of residential buildings, highlights a number of advantages and disadvantages of this technology and the prospects for its use in Ukraine
