A system and method for mud mixing using a container to hold a joint compound and the water. The container having a lid to keep the container shut and preventing the liquids from escaping wherein the container may then be shaken by the user to mix the joint compound with the water. The user then may remove lid and pull on a rod and plate connected to one another at the bottom of holding container. Rod and plate act as a pressure seal, whereby when the rod is pulled all of the mud may be removed from the container and placed into a pan for use.

In a method of producing nanoconcrete according the bottom-up approach of nano technology with the High-Energy Mixing of composition including cement, water, sand, additives and superplasticizers, the mixing is performed with flow of mixture characterized by Reynolds number and Power number in the range of 20-800 and 0.1-4.0 respectively with installation a disk horizontally into mixing assembly on the top layer of activated mixture coaxially with vertical axis of assembly and with the axis of impeller rotation on the adjustable level to avoid destroying created gel as a result of interruptions of process, to increase laminarity of the mixture flow, energy absorption by the mixture, and shear stress for creation additional quantity of the nanostructured Calcium Silicate Hydrate (C-S-H) gel necessary for making nanoconcrete.

An example apparatus for additive manufacturing can include a supply of dry cement powder (702) having an individually controllable outlet (704); a supply of a dry mineral filler (706) having an individually controllable outlet (708); a supply of a curing accelerator (712) having an individually controllable outlet (714); and a supply of water (716) having an individually controllable outlet (718). A batch mixer (722) can receive and mix a controlled amount dry cement powder from the supply of dry cement powder, a controlled amount of dry mineral filler from the supply of dry mineral filler, a controlled amount of curing accelerator from the supply of curing accelerator, and a controlled amount of water from the supply of water, thus forming a batch of cementitious material. A pump (750) can be connected to the batch mixer to pump the cementitious material. A delivery hose (150) can be connected to the pump to deliver the cementitious material pumped by the pump from the batch mixer. A printhead (502) can be connected to an outlet of the delivery hose. The printhead can be positionable in three-dimensional space.
