At these new premises, CyBe can scale up the current production process and work on new developments.

GE Renewable Energy opens facility to 3D print wind turbines towers Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

GE Renewable Energy today held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to inaugurate a new research and development facility that will conduct research on how to 3D print the concrete base of towers used in wind turbines. The research will enable GE to 3D print the bottom portion of the wind turbine towers on-site at wind farms, lowering transportation costs and creating additional employment opportunities at the wind farms where the technology will be used.

COBOD and PERI expand 3D construction printing distribution AM Industry

by Architecture

Danish COBOD International is well-known for being a market leader in the development and production of 3D construction printers, while PERI Group is a leading company in formwork equipment, scaffolding, tents, and now also the distributor of COBOD 3D construction printers. PERI has successfully been distributing COBOD 3D construction printers since 2019, following that PERI, in 2019, became a minority shareholder of COBOD. The successful cooperation is documented by PERI being COBOD’s largest customer, having bought multiple printers for European and US customers. Since 2019 PERI also successfully used COBOD’s 3D construction printers on several projects, including the world’s first 3-story apartment building in Germany.

3dpbm Pulse Podcast, Ep 5: the real story on 3D construction printing Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

In this new episode of the 3dpbm Pulse Podcast series we met with Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and General Manager of COBOD International. COBOD is a globally leading company within the 3D construction printing segment. The company has been constantly – and deservedly – making headlines in both the construction and 3D printing press. Today COBOD is the only company that has been actively working to dramatically reduce the cost of materials, by introducing the D.fab Magic Mix which enables use of locally sourced real concrete. This can reduce the cost of a project by up to 90%, and it has already been proven by cases presented in the White Paper available to download below. In a market segment often characterized by exagerated claims, we spoke with Mr. Lund-Nielsen about the real state of the industry and its true potential.

First 3D construction printer configurator officially launched by COBOD AM Software

by Architecture

As 3dpbm had anticipated last month, COBOD has now, officially, launched the first 3D construction printer configurator – a new tool that enables contractors and developers to estimate the time it will take to 3D print a specific building and calculate the volume of concrete materials needed. For instance, the configurator shows, layer by layer, how the printer can build a 170 m2 (1.900 square feet) villa in just 26 hours.

WASP and IAAC inaugurate first 3D printed earthen construction in Spain Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

IAAC, the Institute for Advanced Architecture, continues its research towards 3D printing architecture with local earthen materials by completing a housing prototype in the natural park of Collseolla, in the outskirts of Barcelona, this winter. The result is a small constructed prototype with 100% natural and locally sourced material recipes that will be inaugurated with a live event on February 28th [register here].
