Abstract
Extrusion/deposition 3D printing is currently the most widely studied and most widespread process in concrete additive manufacturing. This chapter presents the diversity of extrusion-deposition printing processes to provide a comprehensive overview of the range of possibilities. It then focuses on cementitious materials in their fresh state to understand their behavior during each stage of the printing process, from mixing the materials to the evolution of the printed structure during the first hours and days after printing. Extrusion is the last phase in the pre-deposition routing of the cementitious material filament. As in the pump lines, the advancement of the material through the extruder is often influenced by the formation of a lubrication boundary layer where shear is concentrated. One of the most frequently reported shortcomings of concrete 3D printing by extrusion and filament deposition concerns interface quality and interlayer bonding.
