Machines
Everything you want to know about Constructions-3D machines characteristics.
What is the speed and productivity of a 3D printer?
MaxiPrinter: up to 250 mm/s (~14 m² of single wall per hour). MiniPrinter: up to 400 mm/s for small parts. On-site, a medium house can be printed in a few days.
What is the delivery time for a 3D printer?
Depends on machine and destination. Typically 8–12 weeks after order confirmation and payment. This includes preparation, factory testing, and shipping.
What are the shipping costs for a 3D printer?
Not included in the listed price. Costs depend on transport method (air, sea, road), destination country, and customs. We can provide a shipping quote.
What is included in the price of a MaxiPrinter?
The standard kit includes: the complete machine, mortar pump and silo, all required accessories, control software, initial training, and a 2-year warranty. Options (6T silo, spare parts pack, spare print head, premium service pack, etc.) can be added.
What is the difference between MiniPrinter PRO and MiniPrinter PRO XL?
The XL version has twice the print volume of the standard while keeping the same specs. It allows printing larger parts and features multi-print, increasing productivity by alternating between two zones.
What safety systems are integrated into your printers?
The MaxiPrinter and pumping system include active and passive safety devices: - 5 emergency stops (including 1 on the HMI). - 3 remote stop buttons with carabiners for operators. - Sensors trigger automatic stops if risks arise. Example: if material pressure exceeds 40 bar, printing halts automatically to prevent hose rupture.
Are there technical limits to the MaxiPrinter?
No strict limits in print surface or duration: it can run continuously as long as material is supplied. It can also be moved to print other parts or floors. The only constraints are max linear length (~12m) and non-printable components (roof, windows, etc.).
Which 3D printer should I choose for my project?
MaxiPrinter suits full-scale projects (houses, buildings, infrastructure). MiniPrinter PRO is ideal for research, training, and prototypes. Choice depends on goals: full houses, educational, or demo projects.
How do you maintain a 3D printer and how often?
A maintenance manual is provided. Tasks include daily pump/nozzle cleaning, weekly mechanical checks, and major servicing every 6–12 months. Preventive maintenance packs are available.
What is the required training time?
MaxiPrinter: 2 weeks total (1 week at La Citadelle Des Savoir Faire in France, 1 week advanced on-site). MiniPrinter: 2–3 days. Both include 3D modeling, file prep, setup, printing, maintenance, and safety. Teams can print independently after training.
How long to reposition the MaxiPrinter?
Repositioning between print zones takes 1–3 hours depending on site complexity. Managed via the provided software.
What precision do your printers achieve?
MiniPrinters are accurate to the millimeter. MaxiPrinter has ~2 cm precision across its print area, with millimetric repeatability.
What is the lifespan of a 3D construction printer?
Depends on use and maintenance. With proper care, a MaxiPrinter has no strict limit and can last many years. Wear parts are replaceable, and we provide long-term support.
What is the energy consumption of a 3D printer?
Low. MaxiPrinter consumes ~5kW, mortar pump with silo ~10kW. We recommend a generator >20 kVA if used off-grid.
