The question with 3D printing is around the materials and the build times. Wood is a great low carbon material, whereas printing in concrete is a different matter.

A low carbon successor to concrete could change this if its low carbon and not so dense that it's difficult to transport (like concrete)

Wood is half carbon by weight!

great low carbon emmission material. I should've known better than to make such an elementary mistake.
Indeed, but it sequesters the carbon in rather tight bonds that can only be freed by burning or decomp.
