From design file to printed wall
COBOD Software is three tools that take a building from drawing to structure. Connected, AI-enabled, and built for construction sites.
THE TOOLS
Three tools. One workflow.
TOOL 1
COBOD Slice
CAD to print path
COBOD Slice takes a standard CAD or BIM file and converts it into the precise layer-by-layer print paths your machine executes. It coordinates material flow, printer movement, and timing in real time. No coding required.
What sets Slice apart is AI-assisted scripting. Operators can describe what they want in plain language and the software writes the script.
CAD and BIM compatible
Real-time coordination
AI-assisted scripting
Natural language path control

TOOL 2
COBOD Configurator
Layer-by-layer visualization
The Configurator lets you walk through a print from the first layer to the last before concrete is poured. Every layer, every path, every transition, visible in advance.
Configurator is used by operators to validate a 3D print setup before execution. It's also commonly used in conversations with stakeholders to show all parties what the building will look like at every stage of construction.

TOOL 3
COBOD Nozzle Builder
Custom nozzle design and fabrication
The nozzle is where the concrete meets the building. Different projects require different output: layer height, layer width, surface finish, throughput, and fiber orientation all depend on nozzle geometry.
The Nozzle Builder lets customers design their own nozzles to specification. The resulting nozzle is 3D printed in plastic and ready to mount. It is one of the few tools in construction that lets the operator define the output down to the bead.

Smooth or textured finish

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
AI in the tools today. A platform tomorrow.
COBOD Slice already uses AI to write scripts from plain language and optimize print paths. What used to require specialist knowledge is now a sentence typed into the software.
3D concrete printing also unlocks something larger: full geometric freedom. Curves, voids, and complex forms cost no more than straight walls. AI-generated architecture, which can produce those forms automatically, now has a construction technology that can actually build them.
