Abstract: The invention proposes a device for three-dimensional printing of a glass object, by applying and solidifying successive layers of a material constituting the glass, in locations corresponding to the section of the object to be produced in the corresponding layer, by means of a laser producing a beam whose wavelength allows the direct fusion in the core of the material. The device comprises: means for supplying the material to a support on which the successive layers are formed; means for thermal regulation of the successive layers for holding their temperature during the production of the object and for cooling them after the production of the object; a central unit controlling the laser. The printing device comprises means for servo-controlling the power and the speed of the laser in real time.

Abstract: A concrete composition includes: a hydraulic binder component which includes cement, particulate materials having a size of less than 200 ?m, and an expansive agent; granular materials having a size (D50) greater than 200 ?m; a shrinkage reducing agent; a superplasticizer; and water; wherein the water to hydraulic binder ratio is from 0.1 to 0.5 by weight, the shrinkage reducing agent is present at 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of binder, and the particulate materials are present in a concentration of from 10 to 80% by total weight of binder.
