3D printer uses construction waste to print furniture!! By IIT, Guwahati researchers

3D printer uses construction waste to print furniture!! IIT, Guwahati researchers have developed 3D printer that uses construction waste to print furniture. They used a specially-developed printable concrete containing industrial wastes as binders to build the furniture. The concrete printer, jointly developed by IIT-G and DELTASYS E FORMING, is capable of printing components up to one metre long, one metre wide and one metre tall. The entire unit was printed layer by layer at an 80 mm/s speed, with each layer having a 10 mm height. After the unit was printed, it was covered by moist gunny bags for seven days to cure before being used. With 3D concrete printing, optimised designs are printed with 75% less concrete and without the need of mold. Great.
