The largest 3D printed building in Europe has just been inaugurated in Germany. The 600m2 of the building were erected in 140 hours, i.e. 4 m2 on time, using the 3D concrete printer. The creation of the corrugated walls of the Wavehouse also constitute a real architectural feat; this desired aesthetic appearance would have been impossible to obtain with conventional construction methods.
The largest 3D printed building in Europe has just been inaugurated in Heidelberg, Germany. Her constructionconstructionwith some mursmurs in the shape of a large vaguevagueonly required 140 hours of work, which opens up great prospects for “printing” other, even more imposing buildings.
Building printing specialist Peri 3D used a massive printer from manufacturer Cobod to construct this building, which now houses a data centerdata center. This performance inevitably marks a breakthrough in the construction industry.
Its wave-shaped walls were entirely assembled using 3D printing technology, using Cobod’s massive BOD2 3D construction printer. Printing the walls of the 54 meter long, 11 meter wide and 9 meter high building required only 140 hours of work for a total area of 600 m2. This equates to an efficiency rating of approximately 4 m2 per hour, highlighting the progress of this type of technology.

Technology that leaves room for imagination
This building is not only distinguished by its method of construction. In fact, he has no windowwindow and only has a few portesportes, which is specific to a data center, particularly for security issues. On the other hand, its walls have a wave shape, a characteristic which also gave its name to the building, nicknamed “The Wavehouse”. However, such shapes could hardly have been achieved with conventional construction methods, 3D leaving room for imagination and new building shapes.
In recent years, many individual houses and even hotels have been 3D printed. It is therefore now possible to achieve the same thing on the scale of a much more imposing building. Note that there are currently around sixty printers of this type currently in operation around the world.
