Abstract

The study highlights the promising use of renewable materials in 3D printing such as flax, wood, and bamboo. These materials have demonstrated potential for lightweight construction components, architectural elements, customized panels, and sustainable composite structures produced through additive manufacturing techniques such as FDM, FFF, SLA, and ILF. These solutions enable the integration of additive manufacturing with advanced architectural geometries, replacing traditional materials with lower-impact bio-based alternatives and creating optimized, adaptable components. Key challenges include the need for consensus on large-scale production of 3D-printed elements in construction through standardized parameters and codes, as well as further studies on durability and performance under adverse conditions and in both structural and non-structural applications.
