Abstract

The additive manufacturing (AM) in construction or 3D concrete printing (3DCP) is a state-of-art method where layer- by-layer structural members are rapidly constructed with automatic machine control and that commit to be notable benefits in the field of construction in terms of design flexibility, sustainability, reduced the construction cost, time, manpower. This article presents, the design of extrusion mechanism and mix for 3DCP. In this study, existing FDM based 3D printer is modified into the model of 3D concrete printer by changing its extrusion mechanism. Furthermore, optimization of the mix for 3DCP having different percentage of gray micro-silica fumes, superplasticizer, and water/binder ratio has done. After the optimization of mix, polypropylene (PP) fibers is inserted in different proportion to investigate its effect on the tensile strength of mix. Study concludes that the designed mix is extrudable from the nozzle of the printer and subsequently micro-silica improves the compressive strength, while the tensile strength increases with polypropylene fiber inclusion into the mix. It is expected that studies will be done on this article will be helpful in the future research work on 3DCP.
