3D printed concrete building completed in Oman

Henrik Lund-Nielsen, Cobod’s founder, said: “While we have been happy to help cement and concrete manufacturers develop dry-mix 3D printable mortars, we have also insisted on a solution using real concrete made from local available materials, which will be needed for the mass application of our technology.”

Juan Romero, Cemex’s executive vice president of sustainability, said: “The introduction of this revolutionary 3D-printing system is a testament to our customer-centric mindset and relentless focus on continuous innovation and improvement.

Hussain, GUtech’s acting rector, said: “Today’s display of the 3D printed building is perhaps the first step in a 1,000-mile journey. A step that will not be success without the support of all parties involved.

“In this regard, I sincerely thank all the local and international parties who contribute to supporting the centre and the university. We hope that this centre will play its part in supporting Oman’s efforts to achieve Oman’s Vision 2040.”
