The article aims at identifying scientific and industrial development prospects in 3D concrete printing with focus on regional potential. The main research method consisted in a study of field literature enhanced by a bibliometric survey and analysis of means of intellectual property protection. For the bibliometric investigation there was collected detailed data about publications regarding concrete additive manufacturing. The gathered information included among others: year of publication, scope, authors with affiliations, citations, etc. The data was analysed in sets and subsets with the objective of identification of mutual relations and influence paths. Tag cloud creation and analysis was also performed as an auxiliary tool for the investigation. Additionally, a patent and intellectual property database referring to concrete printing was studied to provide some insight into industrial implementation and commercialisation potential. The results allowed for concluding which aspects seemed to be most significant for the development of the concrete printing science and application. Additionally, propositions of paths for further research and development were determined. The presented results could be a used as guidance reference for regional scientific and industrial partners.

Artykuł ma na celu zidentyfikowanie naukowych i przemysłowych perspektyw rozwoju druku 3D z betonu, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem potencjału regionalnego. Główną metodą badawczą było studium literatury przedmiotu wzbogacone o ankietę bibliometryczną i analizę dotyczącą środków ochrony własności intelektualnej. Na potrzeby badania bibliometrycznego zebrano szczegółowe dane na temat publikacji dotyczących wytwarzania przyrostowego betonu. Zebrane informacje obejmowały między innymi: rok publikacji, zakres, autorów wraz z afiliacjami, cytowania itp. Dane zostały przeanalizowane w zadanych zbiorach i podzbiorach w celu identyfikacji wzajemnych relacji i ścieżek wpływu. Jako narzędzie pomocnicze do studium, utworzono chmurę tagów i przeprowadzono jej analizę. Ponadto, przeanalizowano bazę danych patentów oraz dokumentów dotyczących ochrony własności intelektualnej odnoszących się do drukowania z betonu, aby zapewnić pewien wgląd w potencjał do wdrożeń przemysłowych i komercjalizacji. Wyniki pozwoliły stwierdzić, które aspekty wydają się być najbardziej istotne dla rozwoju nauki i zastosowania druku 3D z betonu. Określono propozycje kierunków dla dalszych badań, biorąc pod uwagę również wdrożenia przemysłowe. Przedstawione wyniki mogą być wykorzystane jako wytyczne dla partnerów naukowych i przemysłowych z regionu.
