Additive manufacturing aided construction has various benefits over traditional practices. The entire construction process can be shortened with improved quality control through digital fabrication. Production of high-quality complex geometries becomes possible without special formworks, easing the incorporation of functionality to the3D printed components. The labor cost, especially critical for high-income regions, can be minimized. However, the structures which are mainly used in additive manufacturing makes the process harder in the scale of civil engineering due to product size, the amount of material used and the type of material. Therefore, adjusting the structure might help the process with another commonly used technique. Using collaborative robots (cobots) and platforms instead of the basic 3-D printing structure helps the mechanism reach further areas with work and cost- efficient construction using their ability and safety features and allow an active collaborative construction environment with humans.
