A cementitious composition suitable for formation by three-dimensional printing according to the present invention is aimed at developing a cementitious composition suitable for formation by three-dimensional printing which gives good stability to the extruded material coming out of a nozzle. The workpiece obtained from the three-dimensional printing formation therefore has fewer errors and greater fineness and is easier to use. The cementitious composition comprises cement, fine aggregate, powdered limestone, expanding admixture, retarding admixture, thickener and rheology modifier.

An example cement includes a naturally occurring silicate bound in an organic binder, a metal oxide, and a chemical activator. The chemical activator is in an effective amount, for dissolving the binder, at least in part, so that the silicate reacts with other components of the cement, the silicate participates in crystal growth; and the cement is a structural load bearing cement.
