Peru: Cemento Yura has inaugurated what it says is the first 3D printer for cementitious materials in Peru, according to local press. The new equipment has been unveiled in collaboration with Spain-based firm Be More 3D. It will be used to develop high-performance materials, manufacture complex prototypes and create construction solutions. It will primarily be used in Yura’s research and development laboratory to automate the manufacturing of large parts and reducing the need for moulds and formwork. The printer will work with traditional mixtures, but allow for research into the use of alternative cements, geopolymers, clays and local resources like pozzolan. It has invited universities, construction companies and designers to join the project.
