The 3D printed reef tiles are designed to prevent sedimentation build up, which is one of the major threats for corals. A tailored algorithm was used to print the biomimicry patterns integrated with spaces for securing coral fragments. The production of the sum 2-ton materials of roof tiles with a diameter of 600mm was finalized in early 2023. They were printed through Eazao 3D clay printing method with generic terracotta clay and then fired at 1125 degrees Celsius.
