This report presents a curriculum developed to expand education and workforce training around 3D concrete printing (3DCP) as a construction method for affordable housing. The report aligns with recent federal priorities outlined in the Presidential Memorandum on Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis supporting efforts to reduce housing costs and promote resilient, sustainable construction. The curriculum is organized into two parts—fundamentals and advanced topics—and includes ten modules introducing core concepts in 3DCP and its application in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. The entire curriculum was designed to be flexible and integrated into workforce development programs, technical training, or academic coursework. As intended, it supports a range of learners, including students, contractors, designers, and construction managers, and addresses emerging skills needed to implement 3DCP in residential construction.
