The integration of 3D printing with smart infrastructure presents a transformative opportunity in urban planning, construction, and engineering, enhancing efficiency, flexibility, sustainability. By leveraging additive manufacturing alongside digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet Things (IoT), this technology enables creation customized, lightweight, sensor-embedded structures. This work analyzes both advantages challenges applying infrastructure, focusing on material optimization, rapid prototyping, automated fabrication, which significantly reduce construction time, labor costs, waste. Applications such as 3D-printed bridges, modular housing, IoT-integrated furniture exhibit its potential contributing towards resilient resource-efficient cities. However, despite these benefits, significant hinder large-scale adoption. Issues scalability, particularly fabrication large load-bearing structures, remain unresolved, requiring advancements high-speed techniques, reinforcement strategies, hybrid methods. Furthermore, regulatory uncertainties absence standardized guidelines create barriers to implementation. lack comprehensive building codes, certification protocols, quality assurance measures for structures limits their widespread acceptance mainstream construction. Overcoming limitations necessitates research into AI-driven process multi-material printing, international standardization efforts. assisting overcoming challenges, has redefine development, making more adaptive, cost-effective, environmentally sustainable. provides critical evaluation current capabilities achieving full-scale implementation compliance.
