What builders are 3D printing with COBOD technology
Cost and time savings achieved by printing walls and foundations vs manual construction.
HAVELAR | PORTUGAL
Recycling Center Office
Portuguese builder Havelar delivered a 500 m² (5,400 SF) recycling center office for a public client in just 9 days with a crew of four. The building included curved walls, a design feature that is only cost-effective with 3D construction printing.

LX CONSTRUCTION | USA
Private Gymnasium
US builder LX Construction used a COBOD printer to win a commercial gymnasium project against post-frame construction on price, delivering a fully finished 620 m² (6,700 SF) building in freezing winter conditions.
40%
cheaper than conventional post-frame construction
620 m² (6,700 SF)
fully finished incl. roof and MEP
6.4 m (21 ft.)
printed wall height in freezing conditions
17 days
of printing across 3 sections
The savings come from rethinking the build end-to-end, not just the print cost.
