One aspect of the present disclosure relates to devices for sealing gaps in an extrusion assembly to provide for a consistent extrusion. In one embodiment, a barrel-shaped sealing device with a resilient protruding edge is used to prevent extrusion material from entering gaps between the piston and the inner surface of the barrel. The sealing device includes a fastener to releasably attach the sealing device to the piston. Sealing rings are inserted into a bottom gap formed between the bottom edge of the barrel and the bottom surface of the die.

The invention relates to a system for extrusion of filaments of construction material enriched with aggregates and/or steel fibers, referred to as loaded material, for a robot for additive manufacture of architectural structures comprising: a head (100) for printing filaments of construction material comprising an inlet opening (110) for material and an outlet nozzle (120) for material; a circuit (10) for supplying material to said print head (100) comprising a reservoir (20) for storing loaded material and a conduit (31) for supplying material, connecting said storage reservoir (20) and said print head (100); characterized in that said supply circuit (10) comprises at least one piston pump (40) mounted on said supply conduit (31) and in that said print head (100) comprises an endless screw (150) arranged between said inlet opening (110) and said outlet nozzle (120) and configured to be able to extrude the loaded material in a continuous manner via said outlet nozzle.

A method for 3D printing a construction using a printing unit includes obtaining a precursor printing material, the precursor printing material including a binder, water, and sand; forming a flow of the precursor printing material towards the printing unit using a material pump; adding downstream of the material pump an amount of a first additive to the precursor printing material; optionally adding one or more additional additives; mixing the precursor printing material, the first additive and the optional one or more additional additives to form the printing material; and extruding the printing material via the printing head.
