Deltasys E-Forming, an industrial 3D printing solutions manufacturer, has introduced a tabletop concrete 3D printer specifically designed for educational institutions and research laboratories to advance material research, the company shares. This new system addresses barriers such as high investment costs, space requirements, and infrastructure needs that have kept concrete 3D printing technology beyond the reach of most academic institutions, according to Deltasys E-Forming.
The compact, research-oriented tabletop R&D concrete 3D printer enables students and researchers to gain hands-on experience with additive construction materials at less cost than industrial-scale systems, according to Deltasys E-Forming.
The new tabletop R&D concrete 3D printer from Deltasys E-Forming offers a build volume of 600x600x600 mm, for research while maintaining a footprint compatible with standard laboratory spaces.
A key feature of the printer is its integrated material mixer and precise dosing system, which allows for the extrusion of various cementitious mortars and paste-based materials. This functionality enables direct experimentation with different mix designs, supporting research in concrete rheology, thixotropy, buildability, and strength testing, according to Deltasys E-Forming.
The system includes several advanced features designed specifically for research applications:
"Our aim was simple—build a lab-friendly Concrete 3D Printer that empowers students and researchers to experiment, innovate, and contribute to the future of sustainable construction," says Virendra Kadam, CEO and founder of Deltasys E-Forming.
