Colorbiotics, a Sika company known for products imparting vibrant and long-lasting colors in mulch, rubber, rock and sand, is entering the 3D concrete printing market with CB3D. Early users of the highly pigmented, liquid colorant include Utah-based Pikus3D, which has demonstrated its strong potential in concrete/mortar ink for seating and benches. Clear coatings equip the furnishings for outdoor exposure.“We have proven we can produce the highest-quality colors for other markets,” says Colorbiotics Vice President Kent Rotert. “We are thrilled with the vibrancy and durability of our colors in 3D-printed concrete. CB3D is a really cool product with all types of possibilities, especially outdoor-use applications that require a higher quality colorant to withstand the elements.” — Colorbiotics, Ames, Iowa, www.colorbiotics.com
