3D Concrete Printing: A Revolutionary Step in Construction
3D concrete printing is establishing itself as one of the most disruptive innovations in the construction industry. This method allows for the rapid construction of homes, reducing costs and material waste, while also providing greater freedom in architectural design.
The emergence of a fully 3D printed home marks a milestone that could transform the future of the sector. From sustainable and affordable housing solutions to a rapid response to emergencies or housing crises, this technology appears to be an alternative capable of changing forever the way we conceive homes.
Last year, the first building using this technology began construction in Canary Islands, specifically in southern Gran Canaria, and currently, a home is being built in the southern region of Tenerife.
200 Square Metres and Two Floors
In Tabaiba, within the municipality of El Rosario, the construction of a 3D printed house using conventional concrete is underway. The house will comprise 200 square metres across two floors, demonstrating that these types of structures are not limited to small or experimental designs but can indeed become fully functional homes tailored to current needs.
Prior to commencing the actual printing, a successful dry run of the COBOD BOD2 system was completed, a fundamental technical stage that validates the accuracy and performance of the machinery. This test serves as the final step before effective construction begins, ensuring that the printer is ready to erect walls layer by layer, thus consolidating a process that combines technological innovation with traditional building materials.
The company responsible for the construction is documenting the various stages of this type of housing on its social media platforms.
