This study analyzes the perspectives of stakeholders, residents from Gawad Kalinga Los Baños Village and experts on the use of 3D printing for housing. It focuses on determining their attitude, specifically awareness of its processes and applications and willingness to live in a 3D-printed house. It investigates the opinions of experts on the elements of 3D printing in which the results revealed that 3D printing is faster, produces less waste, and has the potential to lower housing construction costs. With regards to their attitude, results showed a positive attitude towards the technology despite the majority not being aware of what 3D printing is. All stakeholders stated that they are willing to live in a 3D-printed home if given the chance. Furthermore, through the use of semi-structured interviews and focus group discussion as primary research tools, this study was able to determine the possible challenges the country might face in case it implements 3D printing for housing. In recommendation, this research suggests interviewing more stakeholders to form a stronger viewpoint on their attitude, creating a PH-based policy framework for research and development of 3D printing for the housing sector, and further studies on 3Dprinting in respect to the local context.
