Abstract The purpose of this study is to replace powder with alkali-activated ground granulated blast furnace/Fly ash, apply Binder Jetting 3D printing to the construction field, and improve the compressive strength of 3D Printed output using post-processing. Binder Jetting 3D printing requires strength improvement through post-processing because powder-powder combinations depend on an adhesive. Therefore, in this study, alkali activators such as liquid sodium silicate, powder type sodium silicate, and sodium hydroxide were used as post-processing to increase the compressive strength of Binder Jetting Alkali-activated Slag/Fly Ash Paste As a result, bulk density was improved from 1.10 g/㎤ to 1.48 g/cm3 and water-absorption ratio from 44.9 % to 15.1 %. The compressive strength was significantly increased by 486 % from 1.46 MPa to 7.10 MPa due to the production of C-S-H; Calcite was formed due to the reaction between alkali-activated powder and alkali activators during post-processing.
