Nozzle rheology and flow viscosity: Saint GobainRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent material flow during concrete deposition leads to structural voids and poor layer adhesion. Precise pressure modulation at the print head ensures uniform mortar thickness and structural integrity during continuous construction.

What technical problems is Saint Gobain addressing in Nozzle rheology and flow viscosity?

Structural collapse during extrusion

(5)evidences

Freshly extruded cementitious materials often collapse under their own weight or the weight of subsequent layers before hardening. Preventing premature deformation ensures dimensional accuracy in large-scale additive construction.

Nozzle clogging and material settling

(5)evidences

Pressure fluctuations and material stagnation during print restarts cause inconsistent extrusion thickness. Eliminating these flow disruptions ensures uniform material deposition and prevents defects at restart points.
