About

Daniel Sibera is a researcher at the forefront of sustainable construction materials, with a particular focus on the intersection of additive manufacturing and waste valorization. His work centers on developing eco-friendly alternatives for 3D-printed concrete, addressing the critical challenge of reducing the construction industry's environmental footprint. Sibera’s most cited study, "Early-Age Mechanical Properties of 3D-Printed Mortar with Spent Garnet" (2021), has garnered 21 citations and represents a significant contribution to the field. In this work, he systematically investigated the feasibility of replacing natural sand with spent garnet—an industrial byproduct—in 3D-printed mortar, testing replacement levels from 0% to 100% by volume. His findings demonstrated that incorporating up to 50% spent garnet can maintain desirable early-age mechanical properties, offering a viable pathway to reduce reliance on virgin aggregates. This research not only advances the circular economy in construction but also provides practical insights for optimizing printability and structural integrity in digital fabrication. Through his innovative approach, Sibera is helping to pave the way for more sustainable, waste-reducing building practices.
