Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper examines the potential of 3D printing for additive manufacturing of street furniture, specifically a flowerbed measuring 1.63 m in length, 0.3 m in height according to a custom design. The study investigates the production process, material selection, and design considerations for street furniture, as well as the workability of the selected concrete mixture and the strength of the hardened structure. It uses the S-6045 3D printer to produce the flowerbed and tests the concrete mixtures for workability and strength of concrete at the age of 28 days. The study produced a concrete mixture that exhibits the required attributes for use with the S-6045 3D printer. The findings may also have implications for other applications of additive manufacturing in the urban environment.
