The paper brings to the fore the prospects of using 3D printers in construction. Some of them are described in the context of resemblance to modern construction mechanisms. Additive construction technologies are reported to be currently used for adding on structural elements in low-rise and medium-rise buildings. At the same time, the authors argue that all theoretical prerequisites are in place for making multifunctional construction equipment, combining the functional capabilities of modern tower cranes and stationary concrete pumps, to put additive technologies into practice

Keywords: construction 3D printer, multifunctional construction equipment, additive technologies for construction of high-rise buildings
