A research team at the University of California, Berkeley, has unveiled the first and largest powder-based 3D printed cement structure built to date. The freestanding pavilion known as Bloom, stands 9 ft high and has a footprint measuring approximately 12 ft×12 ft. It is composed of 840 customised blocks that were 3D printed using a new type of iron oxide-free Portland cement polymer formulation developed by Associate Prof of Architecture, Ronald Rael.
