Researchers achieve world-first in underwater 3D concrete printing
LUYTEN 3D collaboration produces Australia’s first submerged 3D printing system, world-first accelerator-free concrete mix for use underwater
University of Wollongong (UOW) researchers have partnered with construction technology company LUYTEN 3D to achieve Australia’s first underwater 3D concrete printing system, and the world’s first “single-mix” concrete formulation that sets and builds stably underwater without chemical accelerators.
