3D Concrete Printing

Can we print buildings with robots?
3D concrete printing offers the potential to transform the construction industry and contribute to the sustainability of the industry.

In the age of global urbanism

6.7 B people will be living in an urban area by 2050. This means that, 200,000 people will be moving to cities every day. We need to build about 13,000 buildings per day to support this exploding urban population. Unfortunately, there is a global shortage of construction labor right now.

Can we automate construction?

Construction industry is one of the least automated or digitized industry. One of the new automation technologies in the construction industry is 3DCP.Hover over the diagram to see the function of each part.
