| description | The adoption of 3D printing has been well received in the construction industry, but there is a lack of empirical research on the carbon footprint of actual 3D printing structures, especially when considering a complete set of structures as in a construction project. Hence, this research aims to analyze the carbon emissions associated with a fully constructed 3D printing bus station through a case study approach. The bus station was built utilizing the 3D printing method and environmentally sustainable materials. The findings demonstrate a 16.16% reduction in carbon emissions when using the 3D printing method compared to the conventional method. The research contributes to and advances the understanding of 3D printing’s environmental impact and the efficacy of innovative 3D printing techniques, providing key stakeholders with insights to make informed decisions regarding carbon emission reductions when comparing 3D printing with traditional construction methods. |
