Buildings Webinar | 3D Printing in Construction, 26 February 2026
A message from the chair:
Welcome to the “3D Printing in Construction” webinar. We are delighted to have you join us for this exciting session, where we will explore the latest innovations, challenges, and opportunities in the field of 3D printing for the construction industry. This technology is reshaping the way we design and build, offering sustainable solutions and unprecedented efficiency.
We are honored to host five distinguished speakers from across Europe. Our speakers come from Portugal (FEUP), the Netherlands, and Italy, bringing a rich mix of academic insight and practical experience. Each of them will share their expertise, case studies, and perspectives on how 3D printing is transforming construction today and what the future may hold.
We hope this webinar will be an engaging platform for learning, discussion, and collaboration. There will be an opportunity for questions, so please feel free to actively participate.
On behalf of the organizing team, I would like to thank you all for joining us. Let us embark on this journey into the world of 3D printing in construction.
