World's Largest 3D Printed Building is a Horse Barn That Can Endure Florida Hurricanes
The world’s largest 3D-printed building has been completed by Florida-based Printed Farms—a luxury horse barn spanning 10,100 sq. feet, which they claim is almost 50% larger than the previous record-holder in the Middle East.
The firm used the COBOD BOD2 construction 3D printer to create the structure in Wellington in Southern Florida.
The building has been constructed to endure the extreme weather challenges of the hurricane-prone, horse-loving region, with a “focus on structural integrity and occupant safety.”
“The versatility and benefits of 3D printing technology are also demonstrated through the structure’s 3D printed walls that create a cavity and air gap which provides natural cooling to the building,” COBOD said in a statement.
The building is 155 feet and 83 feet wide. The build process involved five repositionings of the printer, with the two sides completed twice and the middle section executed once.
COBOD printers have now created the world’s tallest 3D-printed building (33 feet) the world’s fastest (3 buildings in 8 days in Oman), and now the world’s largest 3D-printed building.
“Printed Farms has done a remarkable job in completing this massive structure and the project demonstrates again how 3D printing is transforming the construction industry for the better,” said Philip Lund-Nielsen, COBOD Co-founder and Head of Americas.
