Behemoth Construction 3D Printers

This 3D Printer Can Construct Six-Storey Buildings

— July 31, 2018 — Art & Design
AMT-SPETSAVIA, a Russian company that specializes in 3D-printing technology intended for the construction sector, has well and truly outdone itself with the introduction of the S-500, a gargantuan construction 3D printer that is capable of constructing an entire six-storey building structure.

The S-500 construction 3D printer is designed to be able to print output at a rate of 2.5 cubic meters of concrete per hour in a precise and safe manner.

There's no question that construction 3D printers are set to play a huge role in the construction sector, as the industry works to boost project speeds without compromising on safety and efficacy, and it's apparent that the S-500 is looking to lead the charge in taking construction 3D printing to the next level.
Trend Themes
1. Construction 3D Printing - The introduction of 3D printing technology in the construction sector with the S-500 is poised for a significant growth.
2. Large Scale 3D Printing - The development of large scale 3D printers such as the S-500 enable faster construction with improved safety and precision.
3. Automated Construction - The S-500 printer's ability to construct an entire building structure with precision and safety should pave the way to fully automated construction operations.
Industry Implications
1. Construction - The S-500 construction 3D printer has a disruptive innovation opportunity to bring faster and safer construction to the industry.
2. Manufacturing - The development and adoption of large scale 3D printers can create new manufacturing opportunities for businesses in the construction supply chain.
3. Architecture - Architects can leverage the ability of 3D printers to create complex structures, expanding possibilities for design and function in the built environment.
