How to get started in 3D Concrete Printing?

Sika provides cementitious materials for printing objects with your equipment.  There are numerous types of mixers, pumps, and robotics on the market. To achieve a successful print, the equipment and material must work together. All these factors play a significant role in achieving optimal results of the finished concrete. Sika works with our partners to evaluate the print quality and find ways to improve it. 

Types of information we can discuss:

  • What type of equipment do you use?
  • What type of objects do you print?
  • What line widths, heights, printing speed and ambient temperatures are you working with?
  • What are your open time, setting time, strength and performance requirements?
  • Do you have any special requirements e.g., testing, colors, maximum grain size, packaging?
