Abstract [sv]

Traditionella byggmetoder har använts sedan de tidigastecivilisationerna och är både kostsamma och ineffektiva. Dagensbygg- och anläggningsindustri är en av de största bidragsgivarnatill utsläpp av växthusgaser. För att komma till rätta med denglobala bostadsbristen och samtidigt minska vår klimatpåverkanbehövs en förändring; Vi måste bygga bättre. Denna rapportföreslår att 3D-skriven konstruktion kan vara ett mer miljövänligtsvar på bostadsbristen samtidigt som hänsyn tas till ökandebyggkostnader samt brist på kvalificerade arbetskraft. Studienutfördes genom en kombination av litteraturgranskning ochintervjuer med sakkunniga personer inom 3D-skrivenkonstruktionsbranschen följd av en SWOT-analys. Resultatenbelyste de många fördelarna med 3D-skriven konstruktioninklusive en hög energieffektivitet, behov av färre hantverkare,mindre avfall jämfört med traditionella byggmetoder och att detfinns inga arkitektoniska begränsningar. Analys av teknikensfördelar och nackdelar gav slutsatsen att även om 3D-skrivenkonstruktion kan vara ett lönsamt alternativ till traditionellabyggmetoder behövs ytterligare forskning och investeringar innandet kan bli standardpraxis inom byggbranschen.

Abstract [en]

Traditional construction methods have been used since earlycivilizations and are both costly and inefficient. The buildingindustry is one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gasemissions across all sectors. To tackle the global housing crisiswhile simultaneously reducing our carbon footprint a change mustbe made; We need to build better. This paper suggests that 3Dprinted construction can be a more environmentally friendlyanswer to the housing crisis while also taking into considerationrising costs of building materials and a shortage of skilled labor.The study was performed through a combination of literaturereview and interviews with people in the field of 3D printedconstruction followed by a SWOT analysis. The results highlightedthe many benefits of 3D printed construction including energyefficiency, fewer workers needed, lack of architectural boundariesand less waste in comparison to traditional building methods.After analysis of both the benefits and challenges associated with3D printed construction it can be concluded that although it maybe a viable alternative to traditional construction methods, furtherresearch and investment is needed before it can become standardpractice in the construction industry.
