Overall, the researchers successfully designed a sustainable temporary support material for overhang sections during 3D concrete printing. The proposed temporary support could be easily removed once the primary concrete hardened. Non-reactive components like fly ash, recycled glass, and natural sand facilit...
The quality of the printed constructs significantly depends on the new property of the used material. During the printing process, pre-mixed concrete is continuously hardening due to the exothermic process, which is the factor of open time. Besides, most concrete 3D printing is applicable in ...
Concrete is not the only material undergoing major change as a result of 3D printing technology. Earlier this year, Columbia University unveiled a new technique for 3D printing and scanning, producing a timber lookalike with an authentic interior grain. Meanwhile, the world’s first 3D-printed ste...
Use Already in 3D Concrete Printing Getting started in 3D Concrete Printing About Sika provides cementitious materials for printing objects with your equipment. There are numerous types of mixers, pumps, and robotics on the market. To achieve a successful print, the equipment and material must work...
3D printing can be one tool to help develop automatization in construction, but certainly not the only tool. We have to keep in mind that one major advantage of concrete is that it is a material you can cast into different forms, shapes and complexity. Different treatments for concrete ...
3. Which is NOT the advantage of 3D printing construction material? A. It saves construction time. B. It is green and environmentally friendly. C. It is waterproofing. D. It provides a comfortable living environment only in summer. 4. What can you infer from the last paragraph? A. The ...
Material Technology CyBe MORTAR can be used for architectural, structural, industrial, and design projects regarding 3D concrete printing applications. It is a high-performance, single purpose material and durable in all environments. Use CyBe MORTAR with our 3D concrete print technology to produce hig...
Techniques like 3 dimensional (3D) printing with concrete and recycled materials help to reduce the amount of material used, as well as minimise waste in building and infrastructure projects. On-site 3D printing also holds the possibility of reducing transportation emissions, as well as labour ...
This paper presents a feasible concrete printing process, where cement-based filament is extruded onto aggregates bed to form layer-by-layer structures. Distinct from extrusion-based concrete printing, coarse aggregates are incorporated in the printing process and serve as the supporting material. A ...
To achieve a concrete mix suitable for large-scale 3D concrete printing (3DCP), it is essential to design the extrudate so that it aligns and works seamlessly with the printer’s design and operational system. This includes integrating systems for material storage, delivery, deposition, printing,...
