Abstract: 3D printed shelters offer a promising approach to accelerating shelter provision and enhancing resilience in disaster-affected regions. This study investigates the potential of 3D printing technology in revolutionizing shelter construction, particularly for disaster relief and humanitarian aid. By examining the technical feasibility, social implications, and environmental impacts of 3D printed shelters, this research aims to identify key challenges and opportunities for their widespread implementation. The study explores the integration of essential utilities into 3D printed shelters, their adaptability to various environmental conditions, and the importance of community engagement in the construction process. Additionally, the economic viability and environmental sustainability of this technology are assessed. Through a comprehensive analysis of existing research and case studies, this paper provides insights into the potential of 3D printing to address the critical need for rapid, affordable, and resilient shelter solutions in disaster-affected areas.
