Abstract: Techniques for additive construction of structures and production of additive construction materials are described, including a 3D printing assembly including a container configured to store a material, a mixer configured to mix the material to provide an extrudable mix including cementitious material, and a dispenser configured to receive the flowable mix from the mixer and to provide the flowable mix under one or more controlled parameters to form a structure, and a controller configured to receive a value associated with a material property parameter of the material, to generate a mixture by inputting the value into a machine learning algorithm, the mixture being generated using, by the controller, another value associated with a control parameter configured to control operation of the 3D printing assembly, and using the 3D printing assembly to print a structure using the mixture.

Abstract: A 3D printable clay-based mortar cementitious ink includes a blend of commercially available Type I/II Portland cement, and a fine and coarse silica sand. The ratio of Portland cement to fine sand or fine clay, may be approximately 1.02. The ratio of water-to-binder (Portland cement and SCM) may be approximately 0.55, and the ratio of water-to-powder (binder plus fine clay smaller than 75 microns) can be approximately 0.416. Included with the water and binder/powder mix is an admixture. According to one embodiment, the admixture can include a water reducing admixture, or plasticizer. The fine clay within the aggregate material is unprocessed, and the binder material is approximately 84 to 90 percent cement and 10 to 16 percent SCM. The unprocessed clay, or fine sand, does not undergo any heating, any chemical modification or sifting before being added to the aggregate material.

Abstract: An extruder nozzle includes a proximal end and a distal end. The proximal end includes a proximal cross-section. The distal end includes a distal cross-section. The proximal cross-section is different from the distal cross-section. 3D printable material is configured to flow through the extruder nozzle from the proximal end to the distal end, such that the extruder nozzle deposits a layer of 3D printable material on top of a prior layer of 3D printable material.

Abstract: A 3D printable clay-based mortar cementitious ink includes a blend of commercially available Portland cement, calcium carbonate, sand, and calcined clay. The calcined clay is produced from the calcination of clay having a high kaolinite content of greater than about 60%. The clay is calcined at a temperature of between about 600° C. and about 800° C., preferably between about 650° C. and about 850° C., for a period of one to two hours. In a preferred embodiment, a ratio of calcined clay to Portland cement is about 0.148, a ratio of calcium carbonate to Portland cement is about 0.333, and a ratio of sand to Portland cement is approximately about 3.0. The ratio of water to powder (clay, cement, calcium carbonate, and sand) may range between 0.39 and 0.40.

Abstract: Systems and methods for preparing a three-dimensional printing material derived from aluminosilicate material are provided. The method includes the steps of heating an amount of aluminosilicate powder to a temperature between approximately 1,100° C. and approximately 1,750° C. to form a molten aluminosilicate material; maintaining the molten aluminosilicate material at a temperature between approximately 1,100° C. and approximately 1,750° C. between about one minute and approximately 45 minutes; extruding molten aluminosilicate material through a nozzle to form an elongated bead of molten aluminosilicate material; and cooling the molten aluminosilicate material to form a hardened aluminosilicate material. Once hardened, the aluminosilicate material includes between about 50% and 90% feldspar and demonstrates a strength of between about 5,000 psi and 30,000 psi. The systems and methods enable the construction of structures using raw, in-situ natural resources without the need for additives to adjust or modify the viscosity of the molten material prior to extrusion or printing.

Abstract: Mix formulation for 3D printing of structures is described, including a composition of an aluminosilicate source and an activator. Also described is a method that includes combining a composition having an aluminosilicate source and an activator with aggregate to yield a mixture, extruding a first quantity of the mixture through a nozzle to form a first layer of the mixture, extruding a second quantity of the mixture through the nozzle to form a second layer of the mixture substantially on the first layer, and curing the first layer and the second layer to yield a structure printed using a 3D printer.
