Cementitious Material Development for Additive Fabrication (2024-06)¶

For the 3D STAR project and 3D printing purposes, a special fine-grained cement mixture from locally available raw materials was developed. The reason for the development of the custom mixture was the possibility of arbitrary optimization of the developed mixture at any stage of the project and for any type of application. Mix design, printing head and the entire system from mixing to extrusion was the subject of research and development for this project. It was therefore necessary to address both issues in parallel and to respond in both sectors to the realities arising from the partial results of the different groups involved in the development.
