Concrete 3D Printing Heats up for Netherlands with Formworks from CyBe

[Brian_Krassenstein]

Concrete 3D printing continues to heat up all over the world, and further in the Netherlands. Two companies that we’ve followed in the past, Heijm and CyBe Construction, have proved that they can now 3D print cement formworks (in their test case using CyBe Construction’s 3D printable quick setting mortar material) with just as high quality and much lower price, offering savings of up to as much as 50%. The foresee the technology as having great potential in areas of construction like infrastructure, as well as residences, filling demand for more detailed and complex structures in architecture.

Printing the forms makes more sense than trying to print the whole building. Not only does it save a lot of time, but it allows for things like the rebars and pipes required for modern construction to be cast into the forms, which has always been a stumbling block for 3D printing of habitable spaces.
