强大的建筑筹集了4000万美元的印刷农场3D印刷品佛罗里达州,并认为小屋计划整个学校

There’s been a flurry of activity in the construction 3D printing sector, as prefab producerMighty Buildings, education non-profit思考小屋,佛罗里达州的初创企业印刷农场都在其印刷建筑业务中取得了进步。

Mighty Buildings通过B系列筹资筹集了4000万美元。Khosla VenturesZeno Ventures。资金将用于加速其增长并扩大团队。在其他地方,Think Huts与建筑公司合作Studio Mortazavi设计一所寿命的3D印刷学校,其目的是在今年晚些时候在马达加斯加开业。

Printed Farms, meanwhile, has utilized Danish manufacturercobod’sconstruction 3D printer to erect Florida’s first fully-fabricated building. According to Printed Farms Co-Founder Fredrik Wannius, COBOD’s latest system could be disruptive within the construction sector by dramatically reducing costs and lead times.

Wannius说:“建筑业是世界上最大的行业,也没有受到技术革命的影响。”“使用Cobod的3D技术和我们创新的建筑物方法Blueprintz,我们的目标是显着降低建造成本,并准备将系统掌握在承包商手中。”

强大的建筑物为进一步的增长增长

In addition to Khosla and Zeno Ventures, Mighty Building’s latest funding round has been backed by three existing investors and more than seven new ones, reflecting the traction it has gained sinceleaving stealth mode last year。The investment also takes the firm’s total capital raised to $70 million and lifts it intoY组合者’s list通过估值公司的公司。

使用额外的资金,强大的建筑打算继续扩展其团队,生产能力和自动化能力。该公司还在创建以可持续性为中心的B2B developer platform, 和the investment will help it to achieve its vision of providing production-as-a-service to architectural clients.

Additionally, having delivered and installed multiple Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) over the last five months, Mighty Buildings is now taking pre-orders for its new ‘Mighty Houses.’ The prefab units, which feature 3D printed shells, are available in three, four, and five-room variants, and measure between 864 and 1440 sq. ft.

“We’re pleased to support Mighty Buildings in realizing their vision,” said Ryno Blignaut, Operating Partner at Khosla Ventures. “We’re enthusiastic about the ways 3D printing, robotics, and automation can be applied to the creation of beautiful, affordable, and sustainable net-zero energy homes.”

思考小屋孵化学校计划

美国慈善家和思维小屋的创始人Maggie Grout与Studio Mortazavi设计师合作,概念化了一所完全3D印刷学校。为了将她的想法变为现实,Grout还与Concrete 3D打印公司合作Hyperion机器人技术, 和she aims to complete construction and open its doors by December 2021.

该学校定于在大学校园建造Ecole de Management et d'Ennovation Technologique(EMIT)在马达加斯加城市Fianarantsoa,将向所有年龄段的孩子开放。鉴于它被设计为众多产品中的第一个,因此该原型只能使用本地材料构建,以使其尽可能可持续。

学校最初的计划包括安全的门和windows and features like solar panels and internet access. Once the production process has been perfected, Grout intends to expand on the $350,000 pilot project by constructing at least three more buildings in areas where educational resources are scarce.

Printed Farms achieves Florida first

Finally in this spate of additive construction news, Printed Farms has announced that it has finished fabricating the first 3D printed building in Florida. Measuring 784 sq. ft, the rebar-reinforced storage unit has been signed-off by a structural engineer, and the firm is now seeking permission to create two additional Floridian intercoastal villas.

Printed Farms is a start-up that’s entirely dedicated to producing hurricane and flood-resistant green buildings in Florida. In order to achieve this, the company has adopted COBOD’s proprietary BOD2 3D printer, which enables it to fabricate highly complex structures, including buildings with 2,000 sq. ft floors over three storeys.

Corbod的技术也以类似的方式使用小组以前,3D print a three-floor apartment block, 和GE Renewable Energy去创造破坏性风力涡轮塔。根据Cobod创始人Henrik Lund-Nielsen的说法,BOD2的欧洲成功现在可以为美国的更大收养铺平道路

隆德·尼尔森(Lund-Nielsen)说:“在BOD2打印机中,我们拥有已有两年多的市场准备就绪的产品,这在欧洲创造了创纪录的项目。”“ BOD2打印机也被用来打印全球第一台为GE打印的混凝土风车塔,因此我们非常有信心该打印机可以满足美国市场的需求。”
