Mixtures, compositions

Are the mixtures used dry?

Printers manufactured by "AMT" print with standard sand concrete, which is available for sale in any construction market. Gypsum, mixtures with mineral additives and fiber can be used (they are also mass-produced, all the necessary documents are available). The operating instructions have technological regulations for the mixture, according to which it will not be difficult to prepare the necessary concrete for printing.

When buying equipment, we teach you how to prepare working mixtures. Another option: to purchase ready-made mixtures for 3D printing from us.

How much does 1 m3 of the finished mixture with the necessary additives cost?

The printer can print with standard sand concrete, which is freely available on any construction market, depending on the region, in an economical version, the finished mixture is comparable in cost to conventional concrete.

Is it possible to print without additional reinforcement, for example, with fiber? What has already been used, for example, in Denmark?

Printers manufactured by AMT can print with standard sand concrete based on cement of the 400-500 series (most do so). You can add plasticizers, which are on sale in your region. The addition of polyester and glass fiber gives a slight increase in strength and provides crack resistance of long parts. That's exactly what the Danes did, catching up with the compressive strength to 350 units. 

Is the composition of the mixture for construction using a 3D printer always constant? Is it possible to find out its physico-chemical characteristics (solidification)?

The printer prints with any sand concrete. If you use the M300 mixture, then the characteristics will be declared accordingly.

What is the composition of the mortar?

The printer prints with standard sand concrete based on cement of the 400-500 series  you can buy it in almost any construction market. For example, if you use a mixture of M300 accordingly, the characteristics will be declared.

The operating instructions have technological regulations for the mixture, according to which it will not be difficult to prepare the necessary concrete for printing. When buying equipment, we teach you how to prepare the mixture yourself. 

What is the consumption of the mixture and what is its cost?

The printer's capacity is 0.6 m3/hour. It prints with standard sand concrete, for example, M 300, available for sale.

For example, if you use a mixture of M300 accordingly, the characteristics will be declared.

Will a simple concrete mortar go for this printer?

Yes, the printer prints with standard compositions based on cement 400-500 series, that can be bought in almost any hardware store. The fraction of non-metallic materials should be no more than 2.5 mm (sand concrete).
