The construction industry is seeing advancements in sustainable practices, as exemplified by a project highlighted in our previous article on SCG’s 3D printing solutions. This project showcases the integration of sustainability into construction through innovative 3D printing mortar, specifically used to create Southeast Asia’s first 3D-printed commercial building—a café designed to showcase a commitment to modern technology and sustainable building practices. This development demonstrates a continuous dedication to advancing sustainable practices in the building industry by leveraging cutting-edge technology.
Advancing Sustainability in Construction
Located in Thailand, the 3D-printed café serves as a demonstration of SCG’s approach to reducing environmental impact while enhancing construction efficiency. Compared to traditional methods, the project achieved a 35% reduction in construction time and a 70% decrease in material waste. This achievement highlights how 3D printing can optimize resource usage while maintaining high-quality building standards.
SCG’s strategy involves off-site production of 3D-printed walls, which are then assembled on-site. This approach reduces manual labor, minimizes construction disruption, and significantly lowers the carbon footprint associated with conventional building methods.
Sustainable Building Through Advanced Technology
By utilizing advanced 3D printing mortar, SCG is redefining how buildings are constructed. This approach allows for precise material usage, minimizing waste and energy consumption. The streamlined process not only enhances construction efficiency but also aligns with global sustainability goals.
SCG’s use of 3D printing technology promotes an eco-conscious building methodology, reducing the environmental impact typically associated with traditional construction practices. The success of this project underscores the potential for 3D printing to support a more sustainable construction industry.


Expanding the Future of Green Construction
As the demand for sustainable building solutions grows, SCG’s approach demonstrates the potential for 3D printing to reduce waste, energy consumption, and carbon emissions. The company’s commitment to eco-friendly construction is paving the way for greener infrastructure projects throughout the region.


Pioneering a Greener Future in Construction
The 3D-printed café by SCG exemplifies how innovative technology can enhance sustainability in construction. By integrating 3D printing with eco-friendly materials, SCG is setting a new benchmark for green building practices in Southeast Asia. This project not only improves construction efficiency but also contributes to global sustainability goals by reducing carbon footprints.
Looking forward, SCG’s commitment to sustainable construction continues to inspire future projects that blend advanced technology with environmental stewardship.
