A common concern for 3D printed houses is the 3D printed wall strength. How strong are 3D printed walls? And how durable are 3D printed walls? In this blog, we’ll explore 3D printed wall strength through examining the strength of 3D printing materials and a 3D printed wall pressure test.
How Strong is 3D Printing Material?
The first question to answer when determining the strength of a 3D printed wall is, “How strong is 3D printing material?” At CyBe, we use a high-performance mortar with exceptional compressive strength. Our material allows bonding of the different layers, ensuring there are no weak points at layer connections. Its adhesion properties are durable in all environments, offering excellent 3D printed concrete wall strength. Furthermore, the strength of 3D printing materials even allows the construction of hurricane proof and earthquake proof homes. By using these strong printing materials, the strength of a 3D printed wall exceeds that of traditionally constructed walls.
3D Printed Wall Strength Test
To back up these claims about 3D printed wall durability, we put our walls to the test. Using a 3D printed wall strength test, our friends at QOROX provided answers to questions like, “Are 3D printed walls stronger than traditional walls?” The strength comparison between 3D printed vs traditional walls may surprise you! In the video below, you can see them testing the strength of 3D printed walls and traditional braced timber frame walls. As a result, the 3D printed wall strength exceeded that of traditional walls by almost four times as much pulling force! With strong materials and excellent adhesion and durability, 3D printed wall strength won’t be a concern!
