The Danish manufacturer, COBOD International has just sold one of its 3D construction printers, the BOD2 to Saudi Arabia. More precisely, to the Saudi Arabian construction company Elite for Construction & Development Co. The BOD2 is an upgraded and improved version of the printer which was used to 3D print the first building in Europe, the BOD. Reportedly, it will be delivered to the Saudi Arabian construction company by the end of May 2019. Also, it should meet the kingdom’s need to build 1.5 million houses in the next ten years.
We covered in September 2017 the small 3D printed office project based in Copenhagen: it was the manufacturer COBOD that was behind this project, at the time the company was called Printhuset. This fifty-square-metre building marked the Danish manufacturer’s debut in 3D concrete printing.

Henrik Lund-Nielsen, CEO of COBOD International stated, “We are very proud to receive this order from Saudi Arabia, which again confirms that our second generation BOD2 3D construction printer is second to none. […] Not only is the BOD2 the fastest 3D construction printer in the world, but the modular approach of the BOD2 allowed us to deliver the size that Elite for Construction & Development wanted”.
