3D Potter and Sika USA have partnered to create a specially formulated 3-D printing cementitious material

3D Potter has partnered with Sika USA Corporation and together we formulated Sikacrete®-752 F 3D a 3-D printing cementitious material. This material was extensively tested with our Scara V4 model and a continuous flow pump.

This material is not modified cement using additives, it has been specially formulated for the 3D printing industry.

We have perfected the mixing sequence and timing to allow for continuous printing. That means there is no stopping to wait for the material to set before printing the next layer. This has not been possible before.

This material opens up a new world for rapid prototyping and the creation of small to medium-sized architectural structures.  

Sika’s material has a superior surface finish when compared to standard types of cement. Once dry it has a very clean white surface and the mixture readily accepts color to create special effects. The structural properties are also very impressive, see the information below.

We offer Sikacrete®-752 F 3D printing concrete by the pallet for $1,300. Each pallet contains 48 (55lb.) bags of 3D cement.

Sikacrete®-752 F 3D is a one-component product and is:

• Accelerated products

• Highly thixotropic

• Ready-to-use by adding water

• Low shrinkage

• Small grain sizes for less equipment wear

Some of Sika’s 3D Printing cement formulas are available for purchase in a cost-saving super sack of concrete. Prices start at $450 for a 2000lbs Super Sack. Call us for more information.
