As a spin-off of the Putzmeister Group and in close cooperation with our strong partners Züblin, the Technical University of Dresden and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), we are setting new standards in the construction industry. What was once described as a visionary announcement is now becoming a tangible reality: 3D printing for the construction of houses.
Strong partnerships as a foundation
Our success story begins with the strategic partnership between Putzmeister and Züblin. This collaboration enables us to draw on a strong technical base and extensive resources to realize revolutionary construction projects. The symbiosis of Putzmeister's expertise in mechanical engineering and Züblin's innovative strength in construction forms the perfect foundation for our ground-breaking projects. This foundation is complemented by the support of the Technical University of Dresden and the KIT, with whom we answer important research and approval questions including component tests in the field of 3D concrete printing.
First building from the 3D printer
We proudly presented the first solid house with load-bearing concrete walls made entirely from a 3D printer (Putzmeister and ZÜBLIN: A house from a print). This innovation marks a significant milestone in the construction industry and shows how far we have come. Building this house in just 100 hours of printing demonstrates the enormous efficiency and speed made possible by 3D printing technology.
Realization of our vision
Our vision is clear: we want to revolutionize the construction process in order to meet the growing demand for housing efficiently and sustainably. The increasing housing shortage in many urban areas requires innovative solutions. With our 3D printing technology, we can not only build faster, but also optimize material consumption and minimize waste. This helps us to work in a more environmentally friendly and resource-efficient way, which is crucial in today's world.
Social needs and innovative solutions
The pressure on the housing market is constantly growing. New, innovative approaches are needed to meet this demand. Our 3D printing technology offers just that: a fast, cost-effective and sustainable solution for creating living space. Thanks to the automation and precision of 3D printing, we can realize individual designs and complex structures that would be difficult to implement using traditional construction methods.
A look into the future
3D printing in the construction industry is just the beginning. We see enormous potential in this technology, not only for residential construction, but also for industrial construction. The automation of construction processes will permanently change the industry and set new standards in efficiency and sustainability.
With every printed building, we get closer to our goal of revolutionizing the construction industry and establishing a more sustainable, efficient way of building. And as we complete this project, we are already working on the next exciting projects to continue shaping the future of construction.
