BIM for 3D Printing
3D printing building technology is a new construction technique started with the invention of 3D printer. There are many advantages of this technology, such as reduction of the costs and time, minimizing the pollution of environment and decrease of injuries and fatalities on construction sites could be listed. Integration of Building Information Modeling with the 3D printing building technique is mentioned in comparison with the traditional construction techniques. Even though many advantages and benefits of the integration of new technology in construction industry. Modeling a 3D model of a building that will be appropriate for 3D printers is possible in many modeling software programs such as REVIT. Moreover, integration of BIM methods with 3D printing modeling will be effective for energy efficiency, better design, cost reduction and isolation of structure.

Benefits of 3D printing for construction
​
Fast production
3D Printing in the construction industry means greatly reduced production time. That’s because the machines themselves are extremely fast, some of them are capable of manufacturing 600 to 800-square-foot (55 to 75-square-meter) home in just 24 hours. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? 3D printers are also fully automated, which eliminates human error. The machine just needs to be monitored, but most of the production process doesn’t involve any human help. Also, 3D printers don’t use additional tooling. They have the construction programmed and they just produce it.

Near zero material waste
The main advantage of using 3D printing in the construction industry is saving a lot of production costs on material waste. That’s because a 3D printer, such as robotic arms, uses exactly the amount of material they need. Producing buildings layer by layer and with lattice structures inside allows for a huge cost reduction. Not only that, but they are also capable of using recycled materials. This factor also benefits the environment. 3D printing has a much smaller impact than traditional ways of manufacturing.

Cost-effectiveness of 3D printing in the construction industry
As mentioned above, using Additive Manufacturing allows for less material usage and involves fewer people to work on construction. 3D printing is also a much faster technology. Those factors radically reduce the costs of building any 3D printed construction. While 3D printing structures, we use just the amount of material we need, therefore we are eco-friendly and save money. This aspect can really bring the costs down. 3D technologies also reduce supply costs.
