PERI Group Acquires Significant Stake in Construction 3D Printing Company COBOD International https://ift.tt/2JsuzuH In a refreshing change of pace from most construction 3D printing, Denmark’s 3D Printhuset, which made a name for itself with a three year, government-funded research project into the state of 3D construction printing, takes a more realistic approach to large-scale 3D printing. This enables the company to deliver quality results, such as the Building On Demand (BOD), the first 3D printed building in Europe that met the necessary building codes. When demand started to increase for construction 3D printers, like the company’s BOD2 with a print speed of 1 meter per second, 3D Printhuset won the first ever EU tender for 3D construction printers. This led to a major decision: create a new company just for construction 3D printing. COBOD International, which stands for Construction Building On Demand, opened its doors a little over a month ago, and is now responsible for the manufacture and sale of 3D Printhuset’s BOD2. This week, PERI Group in Germany, which is one of the largest manufacturers and suppliers of formwork and scaffolding systems in the world, announced that it had acquired a significant minority stake in COBOD International.
This investment by PERI is obviously a major endorsement for COBOD’s 3D construction printing, and is just the latest in a group of other investments made by several multinational companies in the conventional construction industry since 2017 into construction 3D printing. This obviously shows that the technology will continue to play an important role in future construction activities.
As a result of this investment, COBOD’s 3D construction printers will be made available to all of PERI’s global customers.
