Sustainability
3DCP deposits precise amounts of material layer by layer, ensuring only the necessary material is used and eliminating the need for excess. Consequently, this approach reduces overall waste generation. Additionally, incorporating our low-carbon Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certified additive further enhances sustainability by reducing the amount of cement required.
FAQ

What are the benefits to 3D printed concrete vs precast concrete?Design Customization 3D printing enables the creation of complex and intricate designs that may be challenging or costly to achieve with precast concrete. This technology allows for the production of customized and unique shapes, opening up new possibilities in architecture and construction. Integrated and gradient color options available. Speed to Market 3D printing offers the potential for faster production compared to precast concrete manufacturing. Once the design is finalized and the printing parameters are set, the process can be automated and completed relatively quickly, allowing for rapid construction. No mold lead times and modifications. On-Demand / Just-in-time Manufacturing With 3D printing, concrete components can be produced on-site or near the construction site. This eliminates the need for transportation and reduces logistical challenges associated with precast concrete, where components are typically manufactured in a centralized factory and transported to the construction site. Cost Efficiency While the initial investment in 3D printing technology may be significant, the potential for cost savings can be realized over time. The reduced labor, transportation, and material waste costs, along with increased construction speed, could make 3D printed concrete more cost-effective compared to precast concrete in certain scenarios. Performance Junoâ„¢ 3DCP mortar is the first premium mix that incorporates all performance metrics but marries to equipment output. Strength tested to 8000psi and higher.
