COBOD Presents an Online Tool to Configure a Concrete 3D Printer

Leading concrete 3D printer manufacturer COBOD is now offering an online configurator for developers and contractors to estimate the time and amount of materials needed for their future jobs. The COBOD Configurator also allow them to design their own machine, modulate it and visualize concretely what the job will look like on site. It is a timely solution for the construction market, which is increasingly turning to 3D technologies.

Concrete 3D printing offers multiple possibilities and advantages, including reduced lead times and costs, as well as the possibility of designing more complex structures by facilitating the work of operators. Despite this attractive promise, the use of additive manufacturing still poses many questions and challenges, whether on the durability of structures or on the handling of such machines. COBOD’s configurator could remove some of the obstacles, particularly in terms of integrating the technology on the construction site.

A Configurator for Concrete 3D Printing

Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and CEO of COBOD International, explains the purpose of the tool, “With this tool, you can configure the size of our modular printers up to 3 story building printers, simulate the print time and material consumption for our use case buildings. Using the configurator, you can see what the printer exactly looks like and what it can do for you.” In this way, COBOD wants to help future users project themselves and become fully aware of the possibilities of their machines.
