A 3D printed building built in just 140 hours

Europe's largest 3D printed building was built in the German city of Heidelberg in a record time of 140 hours, or just six days.

Dubbed The Wave House because of the wavy pattern that adorns the walls, the building was constructed using additive manufacturing, “20 Minutes” reported Tuesday.

Thus, thanks to Cobod technology, walls with a height of 9 meters were printed at a rate of 4 m2 in a period of 140 hours or a total surface area of ​​600 m2.

“We are proud to take on this huge project,” said Peri 3D Construction General Director Fabian Meyer-Brutz in a press release reported by AC Press.

Kobod founder and managing director Henrik Lund-Nielsen says the program is not limited to the delivery of residential buildings.

“It also extends to multi-storied buildings and complex structures, including office spaces, warehouses and data centers,” he noted.

The building has housed a computer systems publisher since opening in late February, according to AC Press, after the project was handled by Peri 3D Construction.
