Database for Systematic Literature Review about Producitivity of 3D Concrete Printing

This dataset contains the results of a systematic literature review that was conducted to identify relevant studies focusing both on productivity in time and cost (of 3D concrete Printing (3DCP)). A structured search string was developed to ensure the retrieval of studies covering both the comparison between 3DCP and conventional construction methods, as well as productivity aspects. The Scopus database was used for the search, which was performed in February 2025 and resulted in 343 records. A systematic, three-stage selection process based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was applied to them. First, titles and then abstracts were screened for specific relevance, followed by a detailed full-text reading, based on predefined exclusion criteria. Those studies were excluded that (1) showed a lack of comparability regarding productivity, (2) were not related to 3DCP, or (3) were inaccessible. To minimise selection bias during the screening process, any unclear cases were identified and jointly reviewed by the authors, in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. In addition to the 15 studies identified by this systematic search, six further relevant studies were added using the snowball sampling method. This resulted in a final selection of 21 studies that were included in this review for further analysis of the productivity potential of 3DCP in comparison to conventional construction.
