The leading edge of construction advancements is represented by 3D printing which creates durable and elaborate structures and minimizes resource wastage. As a viable substitute for regular cement materials highlights the ecological benefits and strong mechanical traits of fly ash geopolymers. This study investigates how the addition of polyethylene (PE) fibers alters these properties and how varying concentrations influence the flow behavior and capability of producing the composite material. The analysis of non-Newtonian behavior in these fiber-reinforced geopolymers is conducted using the Herschel-Bulkley model. By precisely measuring critical rheological factors such as viscosity and flow behavior researchers can evaluate how they influence 3D printing processes. This research reveals that adding PE fibers boosts the material’s strength and improves resistance against cracking while also elevating the viscosity and yield stress that can hinder its passage through the printer’s nozzle. An optimal blend of fiber content emerges from controlled tests that align increased durability with controllable extrusion flow and structure reliability. The results offer deep practical applications that reveal methods for producing geopolymers that can maintain strength while meeting the exacting requirements of 3D printing methods. Research deepens the grasp of how adding fibers alters the properties of geopolymers and enriches the overall dialogue on green building materials. It opens doors for subsequent analysis of complex fiber systems and creative additive practices to boost the effectiveness and resilience of construction materials in practical use.
