BOD XL
Industrial-scale and multi-storey construction
COBOD's largest 3D construction printer, built on the same modular gantry architecture as the BOD2. CE-certified and designed for industrial structures, apartment complexes, and commercial buildings. Operates with a crew of four.
The BODXL scales the same gantry concept to industrial and commercial projects
Where the BOD2 handles residential and mid-scale builds, the BODXL takes on larger footprints and taller structures, covering industrial facilities, office buildings, and apartment complexes.
One control point, regardless of size
The BODXL comes with a dedicated operational stand that gives the crew a fixed point for oversight and access to controls across the full site. No matter how large the structure, the printer stays manageable for a team of four.

Modular aluminium gantry
The largest printer in the COBOD range. Structurally enhanced aluminium truss on four or more Z-axis columns, assembled on site from 5 m modules. Built on the same modular platform as the BOD2, scaled up for industrial and multi-storey projects.
Produced in Denmark and fully CE certified in compliance with EU machinery regulations.

Concrete printhead
Steel carriage with tangential nozzle that follows the direction of travel continuously, producing smooth or textured wall finishes directly from the digital model. Layer width up to 500 mm (19.7 in), layer height up to 75 mm (3 in). Fed via DN75 hose. Fibers can be added depending on nozzle size.
Layer width up to 500 mm (19.7 in), layer height up to 75 mm (3 in). Nozzle replaced via quick-release system with no tools required.
Remote operation and control
The printer is operated from any device via WiFi or ethernet through a web-based interface. Cameras on the printhead provide live visual coverage of the print. The printer also includes a separate surveillance system mounted on the Z-axis columns.
The standalone operational stand provides an additional on-site control point for large-site coordination.

Print with real concrete
COBOD printers run on locally sourced concrete, not pre-bagged mortar. Use standard ingredients, control your own mix, and avoid being locked into a proprietary material supply chain.
THE MATERIAL
Locally sourced concrete
Print with locally sourced concrete using standard materials and aggregates up to 10 mm (3/8 in). No proprietary mixes. No material lock-in. Typical strength: 30–35 MPa (~4,400-5,100 PSI).
THE DELIVERY
Flexible material supply
Use ready-mix trucks or batch concrete directly on site. COBOD gives you the flexibility to work with local suppliers or control the full mix yourself.
Example projects built with BOD XL
The BODXL has been used across industrial and large-scale building projects worldwide.
