Recently 3D printing of geopolymers gained increasing attention due to their dual-dimensional sustainability from technology and materials perspectives. The current research first defines the criteria for the assessment of the sustainability of 3D printed geopolymers. Four different aspects including productivity assessment, economic influence, environmental burden and social impact have been investigated to analyze their current states of sustainability. Detailed productivity analysis depicts promising results in terms of fresh and hardened properties of 3D printed geopolymers. Despite reasonable productivity, 3D printing of geopolymers has not completely replaced the traditional practices and materials on industrial scale as a result of their inadequate economic and environmental performance mainly due to alkaline reagents. Alkaline reagents used for the geopolymerization of industrial by-products not only increase the overall concrete cost but also induce a severe environmental burden. Although, 3D printed geopolymers have explicit social impacts on human lives, the high level of automation in 3D printing process and less manufacturing of cement (due to its replacement with geopolymers) may reduce the number of jobs. Upon critically analyzing the pros and cons, a strategic roadmap is provided for the adoption of the 3D printing of geopolymers on industrial scale based on short, medium and long-term goals.

最近，地质聚合物的 3D 打印由于其二维可持续性而受到越来越多的关注从技术和材料的角度来看。目前的研究首先定义了评估 3D 打印地质聚合物可持续性的标准。对生产力评估、经济影响、环境负担和社会影响等四个不同方面进行了调查，以分析其当前的可持续性状态。详细的生产力分析描述了 3D 打印地质聚合物的新鲜和硬化特性方面的可喜结果。尽管生产率合理，但由于碱性试剂导致其经济和环境性能不足，地质聚合物的 3D 打印并没有完全取代工业规模的传统做法和材料。用于工业副产品地质聚合的碱性试剂不仅增加了混凝土的整体成本，而且造成了严重的环境负担。尽管 3D 打印的地质聚合物对人类生活具有明显的社会影响，但 3D 打印过程中的高度自动化和较少的水泥制造（由于其被地质聚合物替代）可能会减少工作数量。在批判性地分析利弊后，提供了基于短期、中期和长期目标在工业规模上采用地质聚合物 3D 打印的战略路线图。3D 打印过程的高度自动化和较少的水泥制造（由于其被地质聚合物替代）可能会减少工作数量。在批判性地分析利弊后，提供了基于短期、中期和长期目标在工业规模上采用地质聚合物 3D 打印的战略路线图。3D 打印过程的高度自动化和较少的水泥制造（由于其被地质聚合物替代）可能会减少工作数量。在批判性地分析利弊后，提供了基于短期、中期和长期目标在工业规模上采用地质聚合物 3D 打印的战略路线图。
