The use of 3D printing (3DP) as a digitalization tool in construction has shown great potential to raise the construction sector to the advances of Industry 4.0 (Ind 4.0). This technology can help reduce costs, promote higher safety, and maximize sustainable performance in the enhanced construction industry. This study seeks to understand the production process and emphasize the aspects that must be observed in the 3D printing construction. In pursuit to establish the acknowledgment, a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) systematic review was applied as a tool to analyze the bibliography published in the last 5 years (2015–2021) about the topic. The results show that in line with construction, the adoption of 3D printing in this sector is complex and requires research on the entire construction process. However, the research carried out so far focuses on specific steps of the 3DP system such as materials and printing machines. Despite the demonstrated 3D printing technology possibilities, there are still barriers to being considered a competitive system. The environmental impact assessment, economic feasibility, and technology approval regulations still need to be developed to escalate the 3DP process in construction, although, with the growing interest and investment from government and companies in the digitalization of civil construction, 3D printing is rapidly inspiring technologies and processes for smarter construction.
