This research goes into the innovative application of laser scanning technology within the domain of Three dimensional (3D) printing in the construction industry. The central focus lies in the seamless integration of various cutting-edge technologies, including Building Information Modeling (BIM), Additive Manufacturing (AM), and Digital Twining.To actualize this exploration, a prototype is generated through the conversion of a digital model into a physical object. Throughout the process of printing and drying, detailed measurements are captured at multiple stages and stored as Point Cloud (PC) data. The setup involves a pair of Universal Robots (UR) working independently, an extruder, and a Gocator laser profiler. In essence, the study seeks to find insights concerning the material required to postprocess the exterior wall textures. Additionally, it aims to revolutionize operational planning and real-time "as-built" data generation through the detailed mapping of shape and height deviations. It is crucial to note that the current study is confined to a linear scanning trajectory along the x-plane, executed at a consistent speed. Furthermore, the scope primarily encompasses planar prints oriented along the x-axis. Finally, this research displays a list of recommendations for the further development of this study to overcome limitations and achieve the potential the technology has to offer.
