Characteristics of the product, object

Do you have technologies for printing buildings with earthquake resistance of 9 points and various materials?

Seismicity is calculated during design. You can add armored frames to the project and increase the grade of concrete that is poured into the wall chambers.

How do the layers adhere to each other in terms of strength? What is the strength, resistance to precipitation, etc? What kind of building material is the structure similar to? How much will it cost to build a house ?

The layers adhere to each other due to such properties of concrete as adhesion and under their own weight. When the 10th layer is printed, the 1st is already solidifying. The tests carried out during the certification of the equipment showed that the printed structures are not inferior in strength characteristics to monolithic ones.

Strength, frost resistance, moisture resistance, seismic resistance, heat capacity and other characteristics are determined during the design process.

The design of the walls is laid by the project, their thickness is calculated, the need and reinforcement options are determined, grades of concrete and foam concrete are calculated. 

This is what provides the specified characteristics of the building. The printer will print what is in the project and you will get the building properties you need.

 

How to insulate the outer wall?

The solution to this issue is being worked out at the design stage. The printer will print what you have provided in the project. Technologically, construction printing can be described as follows: 

  1. The printer prints the outer and inner contour of the wall with bulkheads (look at the video https://youtu.be/NMtodG5z35Q). The thickness and heat capacity of the future wall is set by the project.
  2. Post-reinforcement (if it's necessary according to the project).
  3. Filling of filler in the cavity of the walls in accordance with the project

The design of the walls is laid by the project, their thickness is calculated, the need and reinforcement options are determined, grades of concrete and foam concrete are calculated.

 

Is it possible to change the colors of the mortar so that some objects remain their own color?

Yes, you can make a mixture of different colors. To do this, a dye for concrete is added.

Is there a technology that smooths seams after printing?

The new generation head prints with an almost smooth surface.

What are the properties of the resulting concrete product – strength, frost resistance, etc.?

The printer does not provide the characteristics of structures, as the crane used on the construction site does not provide the strength of the building. The printer is just a concrete stacker.

Strength, frost resistance, moisture resistance, seismic resistance, heat capacity and other characteristics of the building are determined during the design process.

The design of the walls is laid by the project, their thickness is calculated, the need and reinforcement options are determined, grades of concrete and foam concrete are calculated.

This is what provides the specified characteristics of the structure. The printer will print what is in the project and you will get the building properties you need.

What if the building is located in a seismic zone? Will we need reinforcement of structures?

The seismic resistance of the building is determined by the project. If the project provides for reinforcement, then it is necessary to do it.

What is the durability of the designs printed by the printer?

The printer does not provide the characteristics of structures, as the crane used on the construction site does not provide the strength of the building. The printer is just a concrete laying equipment.

Strength, frost resistance, moisture resistance, seismic resistance, heat capacity, and other characteristics are determined during the design of the future building.

The printer prints objects designed in the project, and you get the properties you need.

What is the seismic resistance of the finished structure?

The printer does not provide the characteristics of the structure, as the crane used on the construction site does not provide the strength of the building. The printer is just a concrete stacker.

Strength, frost resistance, moisture resistance, seismic resistance, heat capacity and other characteristics are determined during the design process.

The designer lays the structural design of the walls, calculates their thickness, determines the need and reinforcement options, calculates the grades of concrete, foam concrete.

This is what provides the specified characteristics of the building. The printer will print what is in the project, and you will get the necessary building properties at the output.

What is the strength of the resulting walls?

it's determined by the project. The designer calculates the required wall thickness, the grade of concrete that will be poured into the cavity of the wall, the need for reinforcement and its order.

Doing according to the project, you will most likely get the specified strength and heat capacity.

It must be remembered that the construction printer is an equipment for laying concrete only. It does not consider the strength of the walls and does not provide it.

What kind of foundation is needed for printing?

The foundation is determined by the project depending on what you print, soils, seismicity. In the middle lane, the foundation is a monolithic slab.
