INTRODUCING BOD2
BOD2 is an upgraded and improved version of the printer which
was used to 3D print the first building in Europe, The BOD.
Based on the experience obtained with the BOD printer, the BOD2 incorporates improved functionality and stability compared to the first version. It is build on the same proven principles as the BOD printer. This assures the customer of a tested and proven system.
2. generation
BOD2 is the only second generation construction printer on the market.Modular robot construction printer
BOD2 is developed to fit any project. Decide the size of BOD2 by its modules – add modules to fit the projects specifications.Print speed
BOD2 is 3x faster than the first generation, with a 18 meter/minute print speed.Gantry system
The gantry system is optimal for in situ projects as well as fabrication of elements off site.Interchangeable nozzle system
New optimised nozzles are developed to insure smooth surfaces. Standard layer height is 2 cm, and 5 cm in width.Flexibility
Beside the modular system, the BOD2 is flexible in terms of mounting. It can be mounted to the foundation or to movable concrete pillars.
FIRST IN EUROPE
We 3D printed the first building in Europe, to demonstrate how far the technology had come. The building was constructed in Copenhagen and acts as an office space for the harbor industry surrounding it.
MATERIAL
In collaboration with FORCE Technology, we have developed a strong and sustainable recipe for the concrete mix, utilizing recycled materials.
FREE FORMS
One of the big advantages robotic 3D construction printing brings to the table is the free forms in the architecture – the printer doesn’t care if the walls are straight or bend.
COST
Due to the speed, material, and low labor requirements, the cost of a 3D printed building is relatively low compared to standard constructed buildings.
TAKE PART IN THE FUTURE
Our goal is to provide visionary companies and universities with the right tools to construct the buildings of our future, share our knowledge and spread the information we continue to obtain during our research.
If you want to 3D print the buildings of the future, get in touch and let us explain how we can help you.

Cobod set to ship world’s largest 3D printer to Saudi Arabia
Cobod is ready to ship the world’s largest 3D construction printer to Elite for Construction & Development Co in Saudi Arabia – ordered as part of the kingdom’s Vision 2030 mandate to build 1.5 million private-sector homes over the next 10 years – after completing the dry and full testing of the printer, a machine that offers a print area of 300m2 per floor and can print three-floor tall buildings, with its Bod 2 configuration marking the largest that Cobod has produced to date.

COBOD SUPPLIES TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF DENMARK WITH CONSTRUCTION 3D PRINTER
The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) has purchased a BOD2 concrete 3D printer from COBOD International to research and develop new manufacturing processes for the construction industry.
Malene Kirstine Holst, Laboratory Manager at DTU, explained, “We are very excited about this next chapter and looking forward to see[ing] the BOD2 printer installed in our facilities this week.”
