A three-story 3D-printed building, spanning an area of 420m2 and rising to 12.5m from its foundation to the roof's apex, is located near Toronto. Nidus3D has constructed three complete levels of concrete which are designed to accommodate four apartments while the project incorporates a 3D-printed basement. It is worth mentioning that the printer was positioned directly within the excavation for the home's foundation, bypassing conventional concrete pouring techniques.
This pioneering building signifies an innovative achievement in North America, since a 3D printer from Cobod International, employing locally procured materials, was used for the project. The exterior, boasting a traditional brick façade and a steel-framed roof, required 80 hours to print.
Hugh Roberts, co-founder of nidus3D, stated that they are proud to have constructed the first three-storey concrete building in North America with the aid of 3D printing. Moreover, Philip Lund-Nielsen, Cobod co-founder highlighted that completing the world’s first 3D printed basement is another impressive achievement that only amplifies the technology’s potential to transform construction.
