This document describes systems and processes for forming synthetic molded slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, or the like).

A building material manufacturing apparatus includes a sieve portion 10 and a receiver 30 that receives a building raw material M that has passed through the meshes of the sieve portion 10. The sieve portion 10 includes a series of sheets that are each capable of performing a wave motion when the apparatus is operating, that have an inclination, and that are arranged in a direction of the inclination. The series of sheets include a sieve sheet 12 and a sieve sheet 13 positioned below the sieve sheet 12. In the sieve sheet 12, meshes having an identical size are arranged at a regular pitch in a sheet width direction W. In the sieve sheet 13, meshes having two or more different sizes are arranged or a mesh region R1 and a non-mesh region R2 are arranged, in the sheet width direction W. The receiver 30 is movable below the series of sheets. The building material manufacturing method includes, by using the apparatus, forming a mat on the receiver 30, the mat including a first layer formed from a part of the building raw material M that has passed through the meshes of the sieve sheet 12 and a second layer formed from a part of the building raw material M that has passed through the meshes of the sieve sheet 13.

A plant for producing a concrete prefabricated component includes a plurality of stations, a transport system to transport the production pallet through the plant, and a 3D printing station having a layer depositing device for depositing a particulate aggregate on the production pallet and having a printing head for controlled delivery of a water-binder mixture. The plant also includes a storage device to store particulate aggregate, a conveying device to convey the particulate aggregate to the layer depositing device of the 3D printing station, a mixing device for mixing the water-binder mixture, a feed device to feed the water-binder mixture to the printing head, and an unpacking station in which a concrete prefabricated component printed in the 3D printing station on the production pallet can be unpacked from an unbound particulate aggregate.
