  • Structure of reinforced cementitious material and process of making the same structure by a three-dimensional printing process
    Patent number: 11529751
    Abstract: A structure has a plurality of modules of cementitious material; a first module exhibiting a reciprocal coupling surface and hooking portions defining at least one cavity, a second module exhibiting a respective reciprocal coupling surface—countershaped and in contact with the reciprocal coupling surface of the first module—and a hooking portion defining at least one cavity extending along at least partially the stratification direction; a connecting element engaged, on one side, inside the cavity of the hooking portion of the first module and, on the other side, inside the cavity of the hooking portion of the second module. The connecting element is configured for stably constraining the first and second modules and holding these latter in contact with each other. Further, a process makes a structure of reinforced cementitious material.
