Current translucid concrete is complex to formulate, rigid and with very limited geometries. High production costs caused by expensive materials needed, such as optic fiber, translate into high selling prices. The way of elaboration does not allow large formats or small thickness, meaning high weight. Because of a low structural resistance, the current translucid concrete needs auxiliar elements for its use on a panel format. This invention meets the needs of different industries (such as construction or furniture sector), thanks to the design of a flexible material, multipurpose or polyvalent. We can easily introduce design elements and patterns without affecting the resistance or the production cost. This structure is formed by a platform with reinforcement elements, filling material and a frame. The strengthening elements vary in width, conferring a better fixing and giving more stability against bending and torsion. The images obtained offer higher levels of definition, enhancing three-dimensional appearance. On the other hand, the frame can be translucid, transparent, photo-luminescent, or opaque. The structure of this invention can have permanent or intermittent lighting in any place, using either batteries charged with an external charger or with wireless charging technologies. The three-dimensional structural frame can have any shape (cube-shaped, pyramidal, cylindric, etc.), including different design specifications of any size or purpose."
