A three dimensional printing system includes a cement source adapted to supply a material. A first extruder adapted to extrude material to form a first layer, and at least one second extruder adapted to extrude material to form at least one second layer over first layer. The first extruder and the at least one second extruder, being in fluid communication with the cement source, and adapted to receive material from the cement source. The first extruder and at least one second extruder placed in series configuration, and adapted to work in collaboration, such that the first extruder and at least one second extruder move simultaneously and at least one second layer is formed over first layer after a delay. The delay is proportional to a rate of motion of first extruder or at least one second extruder, rate of solidification of material, as-extruded surface tension, and inherent integrity of material.
