Besides all of its other amazing qualities: freedom of design; more sustainable, less waste, the amazing Sika 3d printable concrete Madco3d uses is stronger, too. How can this wonder be possible, you ask? Science!
Sika’s science allows not only being able to achieve these amazing forms, but stacked up, pound-for-pound with ordinary Portland cement, 3d printed concrete comes is at 7250 psi (pounds per square inch) after curing time (28 days) vs Portland’s average 5600 psi. That’s a solid increase of over 30% besides the massive time savings and performance benefits.
Concrete is tested for compressive strength this way:
Compressive strength is measured by breaking cylindrical concrete specimens in a compression-testing machine. Compressive strength is calculated from the failure load divided by the cross-sectional area resisting the load and reported in units of pound-force per square inch (psi) or megapascals (MPa).. And 3d concrete wins…so when you invest in Madco3d, you’re investing in not only a better process, but better performance, time savings and profit!
3-dimensionally yours,
