This research investigates the innovative application of 3D printing technology in the production of geomembranes for laboratory-scale geotechnical experiments. Commonly, geotechnical research relies on the results of model testing. However, due to the high costs and complexity involved, full-scale model testing is rarely carried out. Geomembranes are essential components in various civil engineering projects, particularly in environmental containment and hydraulic barrier systems. In this research, the potential of 3D printing as an innovative method for producing geomembranes is carried out. Using a 3D printer, this research aims to prepare geosynthetic models with accurate geometric scales and tensile properties suitable for laboratory testing. A comparison was made between HDPE geomembranes and 3D printed geomembranes, to highlight their performance in a geotechnical laboratory environment. The research results show that 3D printed geomembranes show potential for applications in geotechnical research.
