November 2, 2021, United Statesarchitecture3D printingThe machine manufacturer COBOD used their printing system to build three low-cost new houses in the countryside.These houses are jointly built by Alquist 3D, PERI Group, and Printed Farms in Florida. Its overall design is stronger than traditional houses, while being built faster and at lower cost.These housing construction projects are jointly supported by the government and the human welfare homes organization, and each housing is built to show3D printingImproving American societyhousingThe potential of the status quo is in short supply.
Zachary Mannheimer, CEO of Alquist 3D, said: “We are very happy to work with Habitat for Humanity on this project.3D printingWith technology, we can speed up the construction of houses, reduce construction costs, and solve two housing challenges: the increase in the price of new houses and the speed of house construction. The goal of both of our organizations is to build affordable housing, and we hope that this project will be one of many projects we will cooperate in the future. “

BOD2 building platform
Since the establishment of the Danish distributor and service provider 3D Printhuset, COBOD has become a building3D printingOne of the most well-known companies in the industry.The company first demonstrated large-scale printing technology in 2017, when it claimed to have built the first habitable3D printingBuilding, this building is built with its proprietary Building on Demand or’BOD’ technology.
In the second year, COBOD launched the “BOD2” printing system, which is an upgraded version of its gantry platform. Now, the company has three different specifications on the market, and each version of the printer has a 2.5-meter module that can be stacked on a three-axis structure. The system can produce multi-layer structures at maximum efficiency, with floor widths of 12 meters, length of 27 meters, and height of 9 meters.
Using these capabilities, BOD2 has been regenerated by General Electric

But with the launch of COBOD’s latest housing construction project, its founder Henrik Lund-Nielsen now hopes that it can effectively penetrate the American market.
Lund-Nielsen said: “Our printers have now printed buildings in three different states in the United States, more than anyone else. As we sell more to new North American customers3D printingSince the launch, we expect to continue to create new records in the United States, so that our printers and technology will prevail in the North American market as they are in Europe. We are very pleased that despite the impact of the covid-19 epidemic, we and our growing customer base have been able to make significant progress and projects with technology. “

Build a home for mankind
Habitat for Humanity was established in 1976. It is a Christian group based in the United States dedicated to helping people in need in 70 countries around the world find a decent place to live.Although the activities of this non-profit organization range from outreach projects to disaster response work, it has also established a cooperative relationship with BOD2 packaging company, seeking to showcase3D printingThe low-cost house building function.
One of the projects is that COBOD’s partner and shareholder PERI followed up its announcement earlier this year3D printingAffordable housing plan. The company was designed by Candelaria Design Associates and is located in a rural southern United States. It has built a single-storey house with approximately 1,740 square feet of living space. It is now ready for families in need selected by the Housing Department.
Following the successful construction of PERI in Tempe, Habitat for Humanity also cooperated with Alquist3D. They built another affordable house in another part of Arizona, Williamsburg.This3D printingThe area of the house is slightly smaller, only 1,200 square feet, but there is still room for 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, making it enough to promote the social housing mission of the Residents Department.
This low-cost home for humanity is the COBOD obtained by Alquist3D.

Although it was built near the city of Richmond, COBOD stated that the project was actually to showcase3D printingThe benefits of housing in rural areas.

Mannheimer added: “Although most3D printingEfforts are concentrated in urban residential areas, but many of the areas facing the greatest housing challenges exist in rural America. This is why we have partnered with the Virginia Housing Corporation and Virginia Tech to build houses for people who live outside the locations where most housing project funds are used. “

In a similar social housing application, COBOD’s first US customer, Printed Farms in Florida, also announced the completion of its second3D printingarchitecture.During February 2021, the company has signed a 784-square-foot steel-reinforced storage unit and has now deployed BOD2 again, only this time to build what is said to be the first ever in Florida3D printingResidential.
Like the residences built by Alquist3D, this 1,440-square-foot structure in Tallahassee has 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms and is designed for long-term residences. When building the walls of the house structure, COBOD is said to have not only improved durability and efficiency, but also determined ways to optimize other areas of house construction, such as placing doors and windows in a way that makes wiring easier.
Similar to the Alquist3D project, the building was also built with government support because it was built with Precision Building & Renovating, which provided for the project through the Tallahassee City’s Affordable Housing Construction Loan Program funds.
According to James Light, COO of Precision Building & Renovating, the project has proven3D printingDurability advantages of houses in rural areas. Light explained: “HouseThe finished products far exceed expectations in terms of strength, durability and efficiency. These houses are not only more efficient in construction, but also lower in maintenance costs. As in the past, wooden houses tend to rot or even break down over time, especially in the south. “
