Jennifer Schenker on LinkedIn: Startup Of The Week: MX3D - The Innovator (2024)

Kingston-based startup nidus3D is proving that 3D printed buildings are far more than just a concept - they've already printed three residential concrete structures in Ontario and are gearing up for more! 🏗️Using a large-scale 3D printer, they can construct three-story buildings efficiently, significantly reducing labor and materials. By mid-2023, they aim to print a entire storey in just a day with minimal manpower. This technology offers major cost savings, stability in material prices, and less construction waste. 🌍nidus3D's partnership with COBOD International and projects like the Bostock Studio on Wolfe Island demonstrate the incredible potential of 3D printing in revolutionizing building construction. I'm excited to see what other innovative printed structures they create! ✨Have you been following the rise of 3D printed buildings? What possibilities do you see for this technology transforming the construction industry? #3DPrinting #Construction #Innovation #Sustainability

Interesting, but it will need some advanced AI to deal with cases when not everything is going as planned. Otherwise it will need much more human intervention than, say, 3d-printing from concrete.I cannot help but cringe at the thought of how much energy we are spending to create cement to pour into blocks to put them in place. Shouldn't it be much cheaper to cut these blocks from stone? The Earth core heat already melted the magma, exuded it into the surface, and it has cooled long enough so it can just be cut to blocks of manageable size. As a bonus, longevity of these blocks will be measured by millennia instead of decades.Do we, as a civilization, need to impose serious carbon tax on cement production so the industry snaps to less energy-intense methods?

The future

I can imagine an end-to-end process where most of the process is automated from geo surveys, design, plans, and now construction (or at least a large part of it). This will solve the skilled labor shortage in the future.
