Problem
Traditional concrete construction relies on formwork, which is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and limits design flexibility. This dependence on formwork increases construction costs and slows project timelines.
Solution
Building Machines has developed 3D Casting, an additive manufacturing technology that uses a robotic system to create solid precast concrete structures without the need for traditional formwork. This method improves construction speed, reduces labor costs, and increases design flexibility. The system can construct entire houses, including footings, slabs, basements, floors, walls, and roofs, as well as associated features like patios and swimming pools.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes construction companies, developers, and architects seeking to improve efficiency and reduce costs in concrete construction projects.
