Abstract

Provided herein are methods for using hempcrete. In some instances, the present disclosure provides methods for 3D printing hempcrete. The 3D printed hempcrete may be printed in tandem with other materials, including hemp-based plastics. Hempcrete formulation may be 3D printed to form a building scaffolding.

Claims (10)

1. A method, comprising three-dimensional (3D) printing a scaffolding of a building using hempcrete and an additional material, wherein said additional material comprises a hemp-based plastic.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said additional material is printed prior to said 3D printing of said hempcrete.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein said hempcrete is 3D printed adjacent to and in contact with said additional material.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, subsequent to said 3D printing of said scaffolding, removing at least a portion of said 3D-printed additional material.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein an amount of hemp or a derivative thereof in said hempcrete is at least about 5% by weight of said hempcrete.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein an amount of hemp or a derivative thereof in said hempcrete is at least about 10% by weight of said hempcrete.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein an amount of hemp or a derivative thereof in said hempcrete is at least about 20% by weight of said hempcrete.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said 3D printing comprises depositing a hempcrete formulation configured to form said hempcrete.

9. The method claim 8 , further comprising producing said hempcrete formulation within a 3D printer, wherein said 3D printer is configured to perform said 3D printing.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein said scaffolding comprises a honeycomb structure, wherein said honeycomb structure is hollow or porous.
