• German ceramic 3D printing company Munich-based StoneFlower3D has launched a laboratory-scale 3D printer aimed at researchers working with concrete, mortars, clays and other mineral-based materials. • The system handles both single-component and two-component formulations, with build volumes configured to order. • Printable dimensions range from 50 cm to 300 cm across different axes, depending on the setup. • Materials that can be processed include concrete mixtures, mortars with aggregates up to 6 mm, fiber-reinforced concrete or clays containing fibers up to 30 mm in length, as well as foamed concrete, porcelain, earth and biomaterials. • The system works with digitally controlled continuous mortar or plaster pumps alongside smaller piston extruders. • The mixing print head can process one or two rapidly curing components, such as cement combined with an accelerator.
