Abstract
Data Availability: Data will be made available on request.Copyright The Author(s) © 2022. 3D printing is a developing technology that has the ability to use different materials to produce concrete elements with complex shapes. The utilization of geopolymers or alkali-activated materials (AAMs) in 3D printing is receiving significant interest due to the environmental benefits of replacing ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The use of solid activators to produce a one-part geopolymer can help the broader use of geopolymers at large scales, as the corrosive, viscous, and hazardous liquid activators used in two-part geopolymers do not present a feasible large-scale solution for this technology. This paper reviews the 3D printable one-part geopolymers, their compositions, and the effect of different precursor compositions, activator content, and different admixtures on the fresh and hardened properties of the mixtures. The environmental impact and cost assessment of one-part geopolymers produced by conventional and 3D printing methods are also discussed and compared to OPC and two-part geopolymers. This review concluded that one-part geopolymers are easier to mix and use than two-part geopolymers and have a lower carbon footprint than two-part geopolymers and OPC concrete. However, one-part geopolymers may not be as strong as two-part geopolymers, but they are still better than OPC.Part of the DigiMat project, which has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement ID: 101029471
