I'm a mechanical engineering undergraduate who's working on a my final year project related to 3D concrete printing. Due to lack of resource and time, I have to find another alternative material for concrete like substance with the freedom to manipulate the viscosity of the material to study the extrusion. It will be really helpful if professionals, researchers and lecturers who are familiar with construction and material field to advise on this matter so that i can proceed with my study. Your help is greatly appreciate. Thank you in advance.
Ammad Hassan Khan currently looking onto cornstarch and fly ash sir. Thank you for your suggestion sir, will read up on papers related to clay
Hi Parthibanraj,
Are you looking for an equivalent material for Concrete or Cement to control viscosity?
In case, you don't care much about the strength as a parameter to study, then you can simply use lime and change the water content to control the viscosity, which would be a linear relation.
