WHO WE ARE
Construction technology to empower builders
Construction is the world's largest industry and one of the least automated. COBOD builds the software-enabled 3D printers changing that.
THE TECHNOLOGY

Every COBOD printer is designed, engineered, and assembled at our own facility. No outsourcing. More than 10 years of experience goes into every machine we ship.
IN THE FIELD
90+ systems. 35 countries.
From single-family homes to multi-story and industrial-scale projects, COBOD printers are running on active construction sites worldwide.
OUR PARTNERS
