< The rapid growth of 3D printing technology has led to the development of large scale 3D printers that can print in concrete and steel. The process of 3D printing in concrete does not use formwork and thus gives increased flexibility to designers, saves cost of labor and materials and reduces waste. These printers have been used to construct structural elements, full scale buildings and a steel bridge. However, the focus of this new age of 3D printers in the construction industry has been on buildings and structural elements. However, a significant part of concrete production in the world are on precast and prestressed girders. These girders are used in bridges, buildings and other structural systems. This necessitates a broadened focus to include 3D printing technology for the prestressed industry.
