4. Abstract -- The evolution of innovative printing techniques in the
three-dimensional world goes on. Before we reported about the
amazing rapid prototyping revolution, about printers that are able to
print complete buildings and about the inkjet printer for streets.
Now there is also the road printer. The Tiger Stone brick printer
makes road construction as easy as laying laminate
flooring. BLDGBLOG considers the invention of the Dutch company
to be a real “road printer”.

5. Introduction -- Brick roads have been around us for centuries. They are both durable
and treat for the eyes and easy to produce and reuse, cement pavers last a very long time
and they are easy to repair and replace But Now - a -days there are difficult to find because
building them is an arduous and back breaking task. Engineers are always busy in finding
solutions to problem around the world and strive to decrease the Time consumption to
complete a task. One such an endeavour has resulted in one such machinery which is more
than just a symbol of great engineering it is both cool and awesome “THE TIGER
STONE”. As Belgian manufacture RPS, the machine caries ergonomic benefits for its
operators: “because the finishing of the edges is directly done on the machine, the pavers do
not have to get on their knees for fixing the edges “they work in a good ergonomic position
which makes their job much lighter and more efficient and road is filled and finished
instantly”.

6. MACHINE DESCRIPTION --
The tiger stone is a six meters wide machine that can repave entire street
at once, including edges. The device is amazingly simple to handle. Any
person can work with it within 5 minutes. Naturally the stones fall on the
road directly into the appropriate pattern. The tiger stone is a solution for
the heavy work that street pavers in Holland usually have to do manually
this machine is known as TIGER STONE paving machine and is
being called ‘road printer’ due to the way it works .

8. PROCEDURE --
• The RPS6 ROAD PRINTER is a divisible paving machine capable of laying bricks for roads. As the machine roll
backwards ‘GRAVITY’ brings the bricks flat to rest on the ground.
• A front loader fills the brick hopper with loose bricks, the bricklayers stand on the machine and
assemble the pattern vertically
• Tiger stone requires 1-3 operators on its platform to provide the machines pusher slot with looser
bricks from the hopper.
• The green machine runs entirely on electricity, moving at a speed of 13 feet per a minute.
• Paving stones are lowered smoothly via a curved ramp into place in the correct pattern, it selfsteers
to keep the road straight and in place.
• Then tamper (or) steamroller pushes the bricks down to secure them in place.
• Bricks roads are experiencing a revival, because they can be reused easily, filter water and without
expanding ice.
• The road printer is capable of creating roads anywhere from 3-20 feet wide.
• As construction workers insert brick into the machine’s forward compartment, road printer
automatically processes the bricks and splits the assembled road from its rear.

ADVANTAGES
• The tiger stone brick printer makes road constructions as easy as laying laminate
flooring.
• Tiger stone is powered electrically and has very little moving parts therefore the
noise and maintenance is quite less.
• It can lay down about 400 yards of road per day.
DISADVANTAGES --
• The cost of the equipment is expensive, it ranges from $ 75000-$ 81500.

11. CONCLUSION--
Most road projects today involve modifications to existing
roadways, and the planning, operation, and maintenance of such
projects often are opportunities for improving ecological
conditions. A growing body of information describes such practices
for improving aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
