The Reality Of 3-D Printing Concrete To Build High-Quality Customized Structures Fast, Efficient And Affordable Is Not Far From Becoming A Common Industry Practice.
In the past decade, 3-D printed concrete technology has made significant strides moving from theoretical concept to practical process for building of homes, schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants and other structures. The emergence of 3-D printed concrete means faster, more affordable and more efficient automated construction than ever before. A critical next step in the evolution of 3-D printed concrete structures is determining the best method for giving raw ridged walls an attractive, durable exterior finish. Less time, labor and cost intensive than using masonry or siding, factory pre-blended stucco is potentially the best choice for finishing 3-D printed concrete exterior walls.
A natural extension to the automated 3-D process that requires stucco and plastering professionals little to no surface preparation, pre-blended stucco is easily applied to concrete with a bond strength to give walls a long-lasting smooth or slightly textured, flat surface.
