COBOD International - 3D printer
October 22, 2024

COBOD Launches the Most Advanced 3D Construction Printer

COBOD International, a global leader in 3D construction printing, has introduced the BOD3 3D Construction Printer, setting a new standard in the industry. Designed for real concrete printing, the BOD3 is equipped with an extendable ground-based track system, enabling it to print multiple buildings on a single installation without downtime. This cutting-edge solution is ideal for high-volume, low-rise construction, offering an efficient alternative to traditional methods.

Key Features of the BOD3 3D Printer

At the core of the BOD3 is its innovative extendable ground-based track system. This feature allows the printer to expand along the Y-axis, covering large areas for continuous construction across multiple buildings. It eliminates the need for frequent setup changes, enabling high-volume production with unparalleled efficiency.

The BOD3 represents years of research and collaboration with COBOD’s global customers. Its modular design is customizable to meet the needs of various construction sites and project sizes, making it adaptable to any construction environment worldwide. By focusing on automation, COBOD’s BOD3 supports smarter, more sustainable building practices.

Advancing Construction Technology

The BOD3 is designed for ease of use and precision. The system includes an Advanced Hose Management System (AHMS) that optimizes material flow, minimizing labor while enhancing construction efficiency. It also features a dual dosing system for concrete additives, enabling the printer to adapt to environmental conditions and reduce drying time between layers. These enhancements accelerate the overall construction process, saving time and reducing project costs.

The printer is also equipped with a Universal X-Carriage, preparing it for future upgrades such as tools for insulating, painting, and sanding. This ensures that the BOD3 remains versatile and future-proof, adapting to new construction technologies as they evolve.

Global Adoption and Success

Already in use worldwide, the BOD3 is active in Indonesia, Angola, and Bahrain, where customers are experiencing faster project execution with minimal downtime. By utilizing 99% locally sourced materials and 1% of COBOD and Cemex’s innovative D.fab solution, the BOD3 is not only efficient but also environmentally sustainable.

Henrik Lund-Nielsen, COBOD’s Founder, emphasized the urgency for scalable, efficient solutions to address the global housing crisis. He noted that the BOD3 is designed for high-volume production without sacrificing quality, and its early success in the market proves its value.

Chief Innovation Officer, Michael Holm, highlighted that the BOD3’s extendable track system directly responds to customer needs, offering seamless, uninterrupted construction on large sites.

Conclusion

The BOD3 3D Construction Printer is a game-changer for the construction industry. With its advanced features, modular design, and ability to print real concrete across multiple buildings, it offers an efficient, scalable solution for meeting the growing global demand for faster, more sustainable construction methods. COBOD’s BOD3 is a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and its ability to lead the industry into the future of automated construction.
