Concrete Precision, Delivered Through 3D Printing
Why 3D Printing?
Saving
Fewer People required on sight, speed of delivery, and reduction of waste. 3D printing can reduce build cost by up to 30 % on the superstructure.

-
Costs
• 3D construction printing technology can reduce the build cost by up to 30% on the superstructure
• Labour – fewer people are required on site (Labour ratio is 30% of overall costs vs 70% with comparable traditional methodologies)
• Time – Estimated time savings for the construction of a superstructure on a typical two bedroom house is approximately 50%
• Waste – Reduces comparative waste by 60%
-
Speed
• 3DCP can reduce construction times by up to 50% whilst improving build quality
• Accuracy of placement accelerates the incorporation of accompanying building components
• Improves investor/developer ROI
-
Labour
• Reduces the reliance on traditional skilled trades
• Reduces labour price ratio (c. 30% vs 70% associated with comparative traditional construction methods)
•Creates new technical disciplines
• Minimizes manual risk / Improves on-site Health & Safety
-
Strength & Consistency
• Traditional masonry (7.5 MPa) can be replaced with concrete strengths of up to 45 MPa
• Advanced roboticsCon technology allows for precise replication of the project’s virtual model / BIM
• Consistency of delivery helps assure reliable regulatory compliance throughout the construction phase
-
Sustainability
• Efficient placement of materials reduces comparable construction waste by up to 60% without any reduction in build quality.
• Improved thermal performance and air-tightness.
• Lowers embodied carbon
• Can be used with local raw materials which can be brought to site in their most compact forms
• Significantly lowers transport to and from site, both for workers and raw materials
-
Circular Economy
• Dramatically reduces the quantity of waste materials
• Ability to use recycled materials in the mixture is increased
• Cementitious replacements such as GGBS can reduce the embodied carbon of the concrete mixture.
• Mass concrete superstructure provides a store for future aggregate`s at end of structure life-cycle
