    3D Printing in Cement

    Hello Everyone,

    I am looking to build/develop a big scale 3D printer to print in Cement.

    - Would the technology be the same, or significantly similar to the average 3D printer?

    Thank you

    Some designs are similar, but I think this use would justify a new one. I've seen devices that use an articulated arm to dispense the cement; perhaps mounting something like that on a concrete-pumping truck that was remote-controlled to move around the jobsite as required would make it more flexible and able to do larger jobs.
