Construction players especially contractors are expected to involve widely and directly with the technology but their understanding about the technology are unidentified. In the same time, Malaysian’s construction industry appears lack to embrace for technology that might lead the local industry be uncompetitive if it cannot engage with the new technology. The research is prepared to study the contractors understanding and readiness of additive manufacturing within the scope of a Malaysian state’s construction industry, Penang.
