ADDITIVE TECHNOLOGIES IN CONSTRUCTION: TECHNICAL, ECONOMIC AND MANAGEMENT ANALYSIS

The study is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the introduction of additive technologies into modern construction production, revealing the technical, economic, and managerial aspects of concrete 3D-printing of architectural structures. The work systematically analyzes the evolution of additive manufacturing technologies and identifies the main structural types of 3D-printers (an additive machine for layer-by-layer construction of objects), including portal, robotic, mobile, and hybrid systems. A detailed study of the technological parameters of concrete 3D-printing with concrete mixtures is presented, in particular, optimal printing speed modes, layer parameters, criteria for shaping and quality of building structures. A comparative analysis of the technological capabilities of leading world equipment manufacturers, such as ICON, COBOD International, Apis Cor, and WinSun, is conducted. The economic analysis demonstrates significant advantages of additive technologies: reduction of construction time by 2-6 times, reduction of construction cost by 20-35%, and increase in the load-bearing capacity of structures. The study comprehensively explores the structure of capital and operational expenses associated with technology implementation. Special emphasis is placed on the management aspects of introducing additive technologies, highlighting the critical need for an interdisciplinary approach and knowledge integration across architecture, engineering, management, and computer modeling. The study determines the prospects for the development of concrete 3D-printing technology in the construction industry and outlines the main directions of further scientific research and practical implementation of innovative solutions. This study was developed between the Department of "Integrated Technologies of Mechanical Engineering" named after M. Semko of NTU "KhPI" and "Geopolimer" LTD to implement innovative technologies in the construction industry.
