Everything to Know About Concrete 3D Printing
3D Concrete printing (3DCP) is a construction method where a numerically controlled nozzle extrudes layers of cementitious material on top of each other to build structures — a concept so intuitive it's almost surprising it took so long to emerge in construction. Yet it is here, and poised to transform the building industry.

The MaxiPrinter Evaluated by the French Army
In a context where the French Army is actively exploring new technologies to strengthen its operational resilience, Constructions-3D was called upon to evaluate 3D printing technology during a Tactical Evaluation (EVTA) conducted by the Army Technical Section (STAT). The objective of this EVTA was to assess the potential of 3D cementitious printing technology in the areas of deployment support, counter-mobility, and force protection. As part of the EVTA, our company also participated in “Dantzig,” the Engineering Corps festival in Angers, where we performed a live 3D concrete printing demonstration of a World War II shelter. “Dantzig” is a special event showcasing current and upcoming innovations in the Engineering Corps. This unique collaboration enabled a rapid skill upgrade for military and structural teams in the field and opened concrete application prospects for the armed forces.
