Application of P.O and R-SAC mortar for 3D printing in construction

Abstract

Compared with traditional properties of building materials, 3D printing materials should have controllable setting time, appropriate workability and superior mechanical properties. Adaptability of two types of cementitious system on the 3D printing were investigated in this paper. Results showed that both of them can match of 3D printing process with the working window time required (10-90min) by using the compound adjustable solidification agents, which have the high mechanical properties (3d⩾30MPa, 28d> 63MPa), and appropriate suitable parameter range of fluidity (R-SAC:210-240mm,P.O:200-220mm).
