Construction automation represents a major advance in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector. It relies on the integration of technologies such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing, robotics, and drones to optimise costs, safety, and execution times. This study examines the contributions of these technologies, with a focus on 3D modelling and printing of a two-storey building. The methodology is based on a review of the literature and experimental modelling using AutoCAD and Ultimaker Cura software. The results show that 3D printing reduces waste,speeds up construction,and enhances sustainability, while transforming traditional practices. The study also highlights the challenges associated with labour shortages and the need for new skills in the sector.
