Abstract

Global construction industry for construction 3D printing(3DP) is a novel technique that has started since 3DP innovation in 1981 while still, this technique has undergone a challenge in Indonesia and Malaysia's construction industry. Applying 3DP in the construction industry has given various benefits more than the conventional construction way. The most witnessed challenges in this technology are printing material, print equipment, stakeholders, and suppliers. Moreover, the absence of standard codes and policies, structural solidity, and extensibility have been over and over referred to as the most critical issues facing the designers. This research introduces the qualitative analysis based on a questionnaire to evaluate the environmental aspects and then analyze it by applying the strategic planning technique SWOT matrix to help identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to this aspect. This research attempted to investigate the environmental aspects of Construction by 3D Printing (C3DP) will be the trending technology in the next 10 years. The research also offers some future research ideas, insights, and recommendations.
