The incorporation of fibers at a concentration of 1 wt.% was found to significantly hinder the printing process. Specifically, certain fibers, such as polypropylene, rendered extrusion impractical due to nozzle clogging. However, reducing the fiber content to 0.5 wt.% improved material flowability and minimized structural defects during printing. Fiber selection, in addition to its impact on mechanical properties, plays a crucial role in determining overall process efficiency. Mixtures incorporating coal slag as a dense filler, combined with stiff fibers such as basalt or glass, exhibited the highest flexural strength. Moreover, the inclusion of merino wool fibers enhanced the flexural performance of fly ash-based mixtures, achieving strength levels comparable to or exceeding those of stiffer fibers. These findings contribute to the advancement of sustainable construction practices. Notably, samples produced via 3D printing consistently demonstrated higher flexural strength than those fabricated using traditional molding techniques. This enhancement is attributed to microstructural modifications induced by the layer-by-layer deposition process. Depending on the sample composition and the type of reinforcing fiber, water absorption behavior varied significantly. Merino wool and coconut fibers exhibited the highest water absorption due to their hydrophilic nature and capillary action, particularly in 3D-printed samples with open-pore structures. In contrast, glass and basalt fibers, characterized by their higher density and hydrophobicity, exhibited lower water absorption levels. These results underscore the importance of optimizing fiber type, concentration, and processing methodologies to achieve tailored performance in fiber-reinforced cementitious mixtures. Such optimizations align with the principles of sustainable development and hold significant potential for advancing 3D-printed construction applications<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/app15084527","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,20]],"date-time":"2025-04-20T20:31:36Z","timestamp":1745181096000},"page":"4527","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["3D-Printed Lightweight Foamed Concrete with Dispersed Reinforcement"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-9444-5699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena","family":"Rudziewicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Material Engineering and Physics, Cracow University of Technology, al.
