Rebar, plastic, cement composites. 3D print forms which accommodate rebar and cement, and we have a block construction method. Cement is filled into the small spaces at the end. Allows for the strength of cement and metal, plus geometry of 3D printing.

One simple example: take a PVC tube, place rebar with spacers inside of it, and fill with concrete.
