Abstract

This paper considers using additive manufacturing in restoration projects. This research proof that Polyblend Calcium Carbonate (Grout) powder can be used as a building material on the ZPrinter 450 Binder Jetting 3D printer. Such material has promising applications in restoring historical structures. Using statistically designed experiments, this research investigated the effect of the layer thicknesses, binder saturation, curing solution, and curing time on 3D-printed tiles. The breaking strength, deviation from the nominal dimension, and surface roughness were measured as the key quality characteristics of printed tiles. The results were confirmed using additional runs. Research findings could be instrumental in offering unprecedented capabilities to preserve and revitalize historical structures and architectural treasures. These innovative research efforts will be extremely instrumental in the field of 3D printed customized tiles, façades restoration, and decorative calligraphy tiles.
