Researchers from France and the UK seek ways to improve 3D printing for construction, revealing their analysis in the recently published ‘ Nailing of Layers: A Promising Way to Reinforce Concrete 3D Printing Structures .’

 .

Concrete extrusion is a continuing source of innovation for the construction industry, lending promise to 3D printed offices , homes , and entire village concepts —as well as added potential for more affordable housing . Greater affordability, speed in production, less need for manpower, and the ability to create composites for better performance are just a few of the benefits.

“Recent research on 3D printing has almost all been focused on mix-design, rheological and process related issues. It has allowed the production of a physically-based background in order to formulate concrete with the required fresh properties, and allowed us to evaluate a time window during which it is possible to deposit a new layer […]
