Germany’s first 3D printed three-story apartment is about to be completed

Following the world’s first building3D printingAfter the house welcomed the residents, the German one passed3D printingTechnical residential buildings will also be completed in the near future.In fact, as early as September last year, this first building in Germany3D printingConstruction of residential buildings began in Bavaria.With the first building in the world that has already moved in3D printingThe difference in the flat structure of the house is that this building in Germany3D printingThe structural design of the residence is amazing in every respect: the three-story building can accommodate five apartments, with a living area of ​​about 380 square meters, and it is completed using a 3D construction printer called “BOD2”.

Now, after ten months, the building is only five weeks away from completion. When it is completed, the house is expected to start receiving tourists from August.In addition to using3D printingOutside the machine “BOD2”, this house was built by the construction company PERI, which provided3D printingCooperation with the Danish manufacturer COBOD of the machine.

3D printingThe print head used by the machine “BOD2” moves along three axes on a solid metal frame. This frame ensures that the print head can move to any position in the structure and only needs to be calibrated once before construction begins. In addition, “BOD2” can analyze water pipes, circuits, and other utility pipes that will be added in the future, and work in such a way that it prints while completing other tasks in the print area. In this way, workers can print the main structure of the house while completing tasks such as installing pipes and connections that need to be completed manually.

“BOD2” can complete about 1 square meter double wall printing work in five minutes at a speed of 2.2 mph (1 m/s). It is worth noting that this “BOD2” only requires two operators to use, and the operator can observe the print result only through the camera. The structure was printed using a substance called “i.tech 3D” created by Heidelberg Cement, which claims to have “excellent pumping and extrusion properties.” This material is designed to meet the unique needs of 3D architectural printing, and obviously it can work perfectly with BOD2.

Comment: Since the introduction of 3D architectural printing technology, countries have begun to invest in research and development. This is followed by the increase in labor costs in the traditional construction industry year by year. Builders are looking for a more efficient and cheaper solution, 3D architectural printing. Technology can meet these needs of builders in many ways. However, due to many reasons such as the scarcity and instability of materials that can be used in 3D building printing, 3D building printing technology is still unable to produce high-rise buildings.
