March 23, 2022 Famous Concrete3D printingMachine manufacturer COBOD has developed an online configurator for his developer and contractor clients to estimate the amount of time and material they will need for future work. The COBOD configurator also allows customers to personalize the machine, including modifying it, and simulating a job-site scenario.I have to say, in the face ofarchitecture3D printingWith the increasing popularity and rapid development of technology, this is a timely solution.
Concrete 3D printing offers a variety of possibilities and advantages, including reducing lead times and costs, and designing more complex structures by facilitating the work of operators. Despite these enormous advantages, additive manufacturing technology still presents many problems and challenges, both in the durability of building structures and in dealing with machine failures. COBOD’s configurator can remove some of the barriers, especially when it comes to integrating the technology on construction sites.

Configurator for concrete 3D printing
Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and CEO of COBOD International, explains the capabilities of this configuration tool: “With this tool, you can adjust the size of the modular printer and even achieve a 3-story print height, while simulating the Printing time and material consumption. Using the configurator, you can clearly see what the printer actually looks like and what it can do for you.” In this way, COBOD hopes to help users in the future be able to predict unconstructed building structures and fully Recognize the enormous potential of printing machines.
Specifically, through this online tool, users will be able to choose the length, width and height of their desired printer. Whenever the machine’s measurements change, the footprint will increase or decrease, giving the user a real idea of how big the finished structure will be. COBOD also provides reference values for the parameters of several construction projects, so that the user can calculate the amount of concrete required, as well as the printing time.For example, for a two-story building of 170 square metersHouse, requires 18 hours of printing time per day. The BOD office requires 7 hours and 48 minutes of work and covers an area of 43 square meters.

This online tool can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection, as well as through Android and iOS apps. In any case, it represents a new trend in the 3D printing construction market, and this market will continue to expand rapidly in the next few years.Henrik Lund-Nielsen concludes. “3D printing buildings has now become a more advantageous option compared to traditional construction methods. This is because compared to traditional methods,3D printerSaves a lot of resources. It’s faster, requires fewer construction workers, who are also now hard to find, and makes for a healthier work environment. With our new Dfab solution to make 3D printed real concrete, local materials can be used to minimise cost, shipping and delivery time. “
