University of Macau

The University of Macau is a public internationalized comprehensive research university located in Macau, China. It is a member of the China-EU Business School Alliance and the "Belt and Road" International Scientific Organization Alliance. The Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering of the University of Macau focuses on the balanced development of basic research and applied research, and is a unique institution that bridges the gap between pure science and engineering. The research fields cover a wide range, with cement-based materials as one of the key research directions, which is of great significance in the research of 3D printing concrete technology.

The Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering of the University of Macau takes the next-generation cement-based material - 3D printed concrete as one of the key research projects. Concrete 3D printing technology, due to its innovation and application potential in the construction field, has become an important direction for the research institute to explore. To promote the research and development of the next-generation cement-based materials, the University of Macau purchased a concrete 3D printer from Beijing NELD Company.

The concrete 3D printer of NELD can achieve precise printing of complex structures through its high-precision printing ability and adaptability to various materials, helping the research team to deeply explore the material properties, printing process optimization, and application of 3D printed concrete in the construction field. The new cement-based materials play an important role in optimizing building structures, energy conservation and environmental protection, etc. The concrete 3D printer of NELD provides relevant experimental data for the research and development of the next-generation cement-based materials and promotes the scientific development of cement-based materials for urban construction and development.
