Recently developed construction technologies have made it possible to carry out processes more efficiently, quickly and sustainably. In this context, 3D concrete printing technology, automation, and robot technologies have emerged. This study aims to verify the reliability of the results obtained through experimental methods in producing different geometric forms in the 3D concrete printing process using multi-criteria decisionmaking (MCDM) methods. The study's main purpose is to examine the effectiveness of MCDM methods in verifying experimental data and to prevent waste of time and resources in experimental processes. The data obtained in the experiments were analysed using the selected MCDM methods, and it was determined that the circular geometry plan provided the optimum performance in terms of buildability, cost, and mass producibility parameters. MCDM analyses similarly showed that the circular geometry plan was superior regarding these parameters. The results revealed that the selected MCDM methods were broadly consistent with the experimental findings, and it was also determined that the methods were sensitive to different criterion weights and assumptions. This study demonstrates that MCDM methods can effectively support experimental results and serve as a valuable complementary tool in decision-making processes. The findings highlight the effectiveness of using experimental and theoretical approaches in decision-making processes.
