“…According to the original method, the soil is typically compacted either using simple mechanical tools or manual rammers. Currently, the use of pneumatic compactors is increasingly popularized [60]. In the current practice of rammed earth construction, automation has been widely recognized and practiced.…”

Under the trend of digitization and global carbon reductions, clay construction has increasingly attracted attention due to advantages such as an excellent thermal performance, low carbon emissions, and high cost-effectiveness. In this article, an in-depth investigation is conducted into the potential, challenges, and future in the development of digital manufacturing technologies for clay architecture, especially 3D printing, robotic construction, and prefabrication systems. It is revealed through a review that digital clay construction is under rapid development and likely to provide a viable solution to achieving global carbon neutrality, which is conducive to addressing various regional issues. The key findings from this review are as follows. Firstly, as a flexible, precise, and low-carbon industrial solution, 3D printing lays a foundation for the extensive research on materials, equipment, and algorithm optimization. Secondly, the use of machine construction methods such as modern rammed earth technology and drone spraying is effective in improving efficiency and lowering costs. Lastly, the prefabricated building system shows its potential in renewing and developing the rammed earth architecture culture. These findings indicate a massive potential of digital clay construction to support sustainability efforts in the future.

“…To prevent the cable winding on the winch from being random, it is useful to add a thread on the winch to constrain the lateral winding of the cable (Figure 3). This solution improves cable winding precision and is now the most widely used solution on CDPRs [12,29,4,30,3,31,32,33,34,35]. But the downside of this solution is that it doesn't maintain a fixed cable exit point.…”

“…On CDPRs, these pulleys can have more than one degree of freedom. In the case of a pulley with 2 DOFs, it is common to have an axis of rotation of the pulley aligned with the direction of the cable [3,37,40,34,32], thus, one pulley anchor point can be considered constant on the fixed frame (Figures 8 c,d,f,g,h). The intermediate anchoring points can include additional guides (Figure 8 g,h for example) as in [57,37,30].…”

“…In housing constructions, robotics can be applied in the nozzles for smoothening, cutting, and handling large-sized or specially designed printed materials. The authors of [56] revealed the use of robotics in the construction industry to efficiently manufacture buildings by 3DP technology. In this study, more focus is given to the engagement of on-site robotics in the construction area.…”

The United Nations (UN) 2030 agenda on sustainable development goals (SDGs) encourages us to implement sustainable infrastructure and services for confronting challenges such as large energy consumption, solid waste generation, depletion of water resources and emission of greenhouse gases in the construction industry. Therefore, to overcome challenges and establishing sustainable construction, there is a requirement to integrate information technology with innovative manufacturing processes and materials science. Moreover, the wide implementation of three-dimensional printing (3DP) technology in constructing monuments, artistic objects, and residential buildings has gained attention. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud manufacturing (CM), and 3DP allows us to digitalize the construction for providing reliable and digitalized features to the users. In this review article, we discuss the opportunities and challenges of implementing the IoT, CM, and 3D printing (3DP) technologies in building constructions for achieving sustainability. The recent convergence research of cloud development and 3D printing (3DP) are being explored in the article by categorizing them into multiple sections including 3D printing resource access technology, 3D printing cloud platform (3D–PCP) service architectures, 3D printing service optimized configuration technology, 3D printing service evaluation technology, and 3D service control and monitoring technology. This paper also examines and analyzes the limitations of existing research and, moreover, the article provides key recommendations such as automation with robotics, predictive analytics in 3DP, eco-friendly 3DP, and 5G technology-based IoT-based CM for future enhancements.
