Printed Farms, renowned for constructing Florida's initial authorized 3D printed house in Tallahassee, has successfully finished the world's largest 3D printed structure, a luxurious horse barn. Printed Farms employed COBOD's BOD2 construction 3D printer for this project.
COBOD has established itself as a leading player in the industry, surpassing other hardware providers in terms of customer base and project scale. COBOD printers now hold all significant records for 3D printed buildings: they have constructed the tallest (9.9 m in Saudi Arabia), the fastest (3 buildings in 8 days in Oman), and now the largest 3D printed building worldwide. Additionally, COBOD printers have accomplished several multi-story buildings, which is a distinctive feature in 3D construction printing.
A video by 3D construction printing YouTuber Jaret Gross provides an in-depth look into the horse barn structure, featuring an interview with Printed Farms CEO Jim Riter. The equestrian facility spans a total floor area of 10,105 SF/939 m2 and stands at a height of 13 feet/4m. Impressive dimensions include a length of 155 ft/47m and a width of 83 ft/25m.
Located in Wellington, Southern Florida, the world's largest 3D printed building was designed to withstand severe local weather conditions, including hurricanes and tropical storms. The structure's 3D printed walls demonstrate the versatility and advantages of the technology by creating a cavity and air gap that provide natural cooling to the building.
Philip Lund-Nielsen, COBOD Co-founder and Head of Americas, expressed his admiration for Printed Farms' remarkable achievement from the company's facilities near the project site in Miami, Florida. He highlighted how this project exemplifies the transformative impact of 3D printing on the construction industry. COBOD takes pride in being the technology supplier for another groundbreaking 3D printing project in the United States, which follows closely after the completion of the first two-story 3D printed building in Texas, also utilizing their BOD2 3D printer. Lund-Nielsen emphasized that COBOD's 3D printers are not only dominating the housing sector but also being utilized for various applications such as turbine bases, schools, office buildings, data centers, silos, and now horse barns.
