Work Starts on Dutch Zero Footprint 3D Printed Hotel Building by De Vergaderfabriek Professional Additive Manufacturing

by Architecture

Construction 3D printing using cement materials has been at the center of a few experiments in recent years. Commercial applications have been centered mainly in China, Russia and wealthy Middle East nations such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE. In Europe most activities are University-based, with advanced projects at Iaac in Barcelona and ETH in Zurich. One commercial project is now close to being completed in Denmark, and another one is now getting underway in the Netherlands: the 3D printed hotel building by De Vergaderfabriek.

First 3D Printed Starbucks Coffee Bar Opens in Shanghai Construction 3D Printing

by Architecture

Cement-based construction 3D printing is finding commercial applications in more and more segments. After bridges and houses, it is now time for a 3D printed bar, inside Shanghai’s newest and gigantic Starbuck’s Coffee. This is the first non-US roastery concept store and also the world’s largest Starbucks, not to mention the first (particularly) 3D printed Starbucks in the world.

Last September, Danish 3D printer reseller 3D Printhuset broke ground on the first European 3D printed house in Copenhagen. Just two months later the structure, including the foundation, is almost complete. The initial 3D printing of Europe’s first 3D printed building, the 3D Printhuset Bod, has been extensively covered by Danish as well as international media. Several Danish TV and radio channels were on site to cover the event live, and their footage was later used by the international media. 3D construction printing represents a clear disruption of the construction sector, which has remained virtually unchanged by the digital revolution happening elsewhere.

First 3D printed live-in building in Europe unveiled in Russia by AMT Specavia Professional Additive Manufacturing

by Architecture

Our friends and media partners at 3D Today, the leading 3D printing news website in Russia, are exclusively reporting on the first residential house in Europe and the CIS, that was just built in Yaroslavl (Russia) using AMT-SPECAVIA’s 3D construction printing technology. 3D construction printing consists of creating the 3D model on the computer, dividing the model into layers in cross section, layer-by-layer extrusion of the cement-based mixture in accordance with the model, solidifying of the material until the completion of the object.

The Cazza X1 is a 3D printing robot used to build houses, villas, shelters, warehouses, prefab modules, commercial buildings and free-standing structures up to 5m in height. Cazza robots can reduce the time and cost of building by traditional methods. In the case of constructing a 2000 square foot two story house, it would take 8 days and be up to 30% more cost effective in comparison to traditional build methods.
