Danish-based COBOD is at the forefront of 3D construction printing globally, with projects across six continents.<\/p>\n
With an Asia-Pacific regional office in Kuala Lumpur, COBOD is headquartered in Denmark and counts world leading companies like General Electric and PERI among their shareholders and has an.<\/p>\n
Simon Klint Bergh, regional general manager for COBOD Asia Pacific, said that they are proud to be partnering with Fortex to bring their state-of-the-art 3D construction printing technology to Australia.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis arrangement, together with our new distribution partners Siam Cement in Thailand and KA Bina in Malaysia and our new regional office in Malaysia, will mean that we penetrate the growing market in Asia Pacific even further.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 3D printer\u2019s modular design is developed to fit most projects, using innovative technology to control the extrusion of concrete, in accordance with the programmed build design.<\/p>\n
The fully automated process is predominantly conducted onsite.<\/p>\n
While single and multiple storey domestic projects will be the prime application, concrete and mortar 3D prints outside of home construction are also possible with wind turbine towers already having been printed by the COBOD BOD2.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are talking about smarter, better, faster building,\u201d Mr Lederer said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd that means improved outcomes for building companies and consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n
The first BOD2 3D Construction printer will arrive in Australia in Q4 with COBOD equipment available for immediate order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
With the construction industry in turmoil as material shortages, spiralling costs and labour constraints hit home, the world of 3D printing is about to make itself known in the Australian construction industry. With the tech responsible for replicating whatever it touches, 3D was bound to have an influence on the built form sector. The 3D […]<\/p>\n
