摘要:
A reinforced three-dimensionally printed form 100 comprising a three-dimensional printed form of inert particulate 102 bound by an adhesive and having opposed first and second faces, wherein the first face of the layer is sealed 102B, and a reinforcing layer 114 is provided on the first face. The first face may be sealed with a resin or sealed by a component of the reinforcing layer that has penetrated into the first face of the printed form. The reinforcing layer may comprise matter embedded in a matrix material including reinforcing bars, a layer of aggregate embedded in cementitious material or a composite layer comprising fibres embedded in matrix material. The printed form may have an interior which is substantially filled with the reinforcing layer. The second face may additionally be sealed and provided with a reinforcing layer. The inert particulate is preferably silicone sand and the adhesive may be resin-based or water-based. A method of forming a 3-D printed form is also provided comprising printing the form, sealing the first face and applying a reinforcing layer onto the first face. The form may particularly be a facade panel or unique blocks or panels for use in the construction industry. A building comprising a plurality of reinforced printed forms is further provided.
