It may not be as American as apple pie, but Starbucks has quickly become an emblem of American soft power and consumerism, similar to McDonald’s. And now, Starbucks has announced its first-ever 3D printed location. Opening on April 28th, it will be placed in Brownsville, Texas.
Construction 3D printing has been around for quite some time and Peri 3D, who are behind this 3D printed Starbucks, is one of the major leaders in the sector. Using a COBOD BOD2 3D construction printer with concrete, the company has finalized numerous projects including single-family housing, apartment buildings, Europe’s largest 3D-printed building in Heidelburg, and even an apartment complex in France. This same solution now is being used in Texas, with the construction estimated to have only taken six hours.

What Do We Know About the 3D Printed Starbucks?
Admittedly, there is not much information out about the 3D printed Starbucks. We know that the location will be smaller than average according to city permits, measuring just 1,400 square feet. This is because it will not have indoor seating or an in-café service. Rather, the 3D printed Starbucks will have a walk-up mobile order pickup area as well as a drive-thru.
