Abstract Within the last 10 years in both China and the world, construction 3D printing technology has continuously improved in both speed and efficiency, with the advent of this technology, it can enable the construction of buildings in a faster and quicker manner. Within the same time, in China especially within the megacities such as Shanghai and Beijing, the cost of housing is drastically rising yearly. The Chinese companies Winsun, Zhuoda Group, and Huashang Tengda promote construction 3D printing by unveiling buildings built with the technology. The companies all state that the technology is safe, environmentally friendly, and requires significantly less time and labor. This research explores the relationship that the burgeoning Chinese construction 3D printing industry can possibly have on the housing market of China, and whether construction 3D printing technology can be implemented to deflate the ever-growing bubble in China’s housing market. By way of interviewing the companies involved in China’s construction 3D printing technology, and researching the Chinese housing bubble, this paper will provide a framework on understanding the progress and limitations of China’s 3D printing Construction and if the claims held by the companies using it has complete veracity. This paper will also explore the negative claims held against two of the three Chinese construction 3D printing companies and if these claims have merit. It will then conclude by explaining if the housing bubble of China can be affected by construction 3D printing technology, and if there is no effect, the reasons behind there being no effect.
