Fiber-Reinforced Mixture for 3D Printing
Planitop 3D [NA] is a fiber-reinforced cementitious mortar that is designed to be machine-applied using the three-dimensional printing process for concrete. Planitop 3D [NA] is a special blend of hydraulic binders, fiber and well-graded aggregates.
Held to the strictest quality standards, each layer of Planitop 3D [NA] is designed to quickly set up and support every layer that is printed above it – saving time, reducing materials and increasing jobsite efficiency.
