Use cases

Depends on size, country, materials, labor. Printing reduces material, logistics, and specialized labor costs. Costs per m² vary but are competitive for large projects. Example: printing external walls with Termix-3D → Cost (€) = 3200*√(floor area). Insulation integration reduces second-fix costs.

The technology allows diverse projects: houses, apartments, public buildings, temporary shelters, protective walls, even reefs. It adapts to both urban and remote contexts.

It consumes less material (up to 40% less concrete), produces little waste, and builds much faster. Greater architectural freedom allows innovative designs. It also reduces carbon footprint through adapted formulations.

Printers use specially designed mortars or concretes that are pumpable and extrudable. They include low-carbon binders and local raw materials. Fibers and additives improve strength. Grain size: 1–10 mm.

Yes. We assist clients in developing local formulations (sand, aggregates, binders). This lowers logistics costs and meets standards. Many projects already use local mixes.

Focus is still on walls. Utilities, windows, and roofs are added later. Long-term durability feedback is limited but promising. Regulations require case-by-case validation.

Yes. MaxiPrinter prints >6m and can be repositioned floor by floor. A 14.14m building ('La Tour') was printed at La Citadelle Des Savoir Faire. Multi-story is feasible.

Yes. MaxiPrinter is mobile and transportable, suitable for remote or constrained sites. No concrete slab required, fits in a 20ft container.

Yes. 3D printing allows curves, variable thickness, integration of elements. It adapts to local constraints and modern expectations.

Our printers have built many structures, some showcased on the Constructions-3D website, showing the diversity of applications.

Reservations are modeled in 3D. After printing, trades install components as in traditional construction. This hybrid method ensures compatibility with standards.

3D-printed walls are non-load bearing per regulations. Buildings must comply with local standards (DTU, Eurocodes, seismic/thermal). Compliance is achieved by filling walls with concrete like traditional shear walls. We assist clients in validation with authorities.

We provide machines, team training, material formulation support, and technical assistance on-site or remotely. This ensures project success from design to delivery.

Currently mainly vertical walls (external or partitions). Roofs, windows, utilities, and finishes are added traditionally. This complementarity ensures durability and compliance.

Depending on size/complexity, walls can be printed in a few days vs weeks traditionally. Example: a 50 m² house per day with 1 MaxiPrinter. Other trades (roof, electricity, plumbing) still needed.
