3D Printing
3D Concrete Printing is an important aspect of digital fabrication in the building industry. There are several 3D printing technologies such as extrusion 3D printing, shotcrete 3D printing or particle-bed 3D printing. Celotech is supplying thickeners such as Celopro HPMC, to help builders to achieve a smooth printing process and superior printing result. For extrusion and shotcrete, with the help of Celopro, the admixtures provide the desired rheology: A shear-thinning effect during pumping and good thixotropy after processing. In addition, a good wettability between the applied mortar layers is achieved with Celopro, in order to avoid cold bonds during hydration.
