Revolution in residential construction: ZÜBLIN and INSTATIQ use new 3D concrete printing process

With 3D concrete printing, we bring an innovative and automated process directly to the construction site. We use it to build the load-bearing walls of the storey in just four days. One cubic meter of printed solid wall requires only half the time of conventional limestone masonry construction, as used on the other floors. This not only saves us time, but is also our response to the ever-increasing shortage of skilled workers. And our employees benefit from better working conditions with less dust and noise.

The enormous technical advantage over other 3D concrete printers is that we print solid walls and not just formwork - and we do this directly with material from a conventional concrete mixer. This means that no special building materials have to be delivered over long distances. The financial savings are obvious. At the same time, the machine fits perfectly into the work processes on the construction site and has an enormous reach with its 26-meter-long, automatically controlled boom arm.

As a developer, we see our task not only in constructing buildings, but also in creating spaces for innovation - and bringing progress to the region. With the 3D concrete printing project in Metzingen, we want to consciously test alternative construction methods - resource-saving, efficient and future-oriented. For us, this is a strong signal: we are ready to take responsibility for the future of construction.
