# Behemoth Construction 3D Printers This 3D Printer Can Construct Six-Storey Buildings By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2018-07-31 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/construction-3d-printer References: [newatlas](https://newatlas.com/worlds-largest-printer/55493/) & [specavia.pro](https://specavia.pro/) 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 Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 77% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Construction 3D Printing:** The introduction of 3D printing technology in the construction sector with the S-500 is poised for a significant growth. - **Large Scale 3D Printing:** The development of large scale 3D printers such as the S-500 enable faster construction with improved safety and precision. - **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. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Construction:** The S-500 construction 3D printer has a disruptive innovation opportunity to bring faster and safer construction to the industry. - **Manufacturing:** The development and adoption of large scale 3D printers can create new manufacturing opportunities for businesses in the construction supply chain. - **Architecture:** Architects can leverage the ability of 3D printers to create complex structures, expanding possibilities for design and function in the built environment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Large-Format 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bambu-lab-h2s.md) - [Highly Precise 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/precise-3d-printer.md) - [Metal-Capable 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nxg-xii-600.md) - [Speedy Large-Scale 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eryone-thinker-x400.md) - [Easier-to-Use 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultimaker-s6.md) - [Large-Format 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pratham-x.md) - [Record-Breaking 3D-Printed Neighborhoods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icon-and-big.md) - [High-Speed 3D Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blade-1.md) - [3D-Printed Sturdy Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cobod.md)
