3D printing, which appeared in the 1980s, is now widespread in all spheres of life. Many researchers are revolutionizing the construction of buildings using 3D printing technology. The main operational parameters of 3D printing are short setting time, fast curing, good machinability, thixotropy, high compressive and bending strength. According to modern research, geopolymers are more suitable for this purpose by their properties than any other material. Geopolymers can be an alternative to Portland cement in terms of their physical and mechanical properties and make it easy to achieve the desired parameters without adding any expensive components and obtain even better properties in terms of fire resistance, chemical resistance, water resistance and heat resistance. On the other hand, geopolymers can be considered as an environmental restoration tool due to lower CO2 emis-sions, lower energy costs for their manufacture, and the possibility of using by-products in their production. The purpose of this review is to explore the potential of using geopolymers for 3D printing. To do this, firstly, the article discusses the prospects for using 3D printing technology, and then focuses on printed geopolymer solutions. As a result of the review, it is shown that 3D printing technology, primarily for housing construction, will expand, and geopolymers may be very promising for this.
