The world’s population is growing every day, and with it, the need for affordable housing. With a global housing crisis, the necessity for scalable, affordable, and sustainable construction methods is bigger than ever before. For scalability in construction, a number of facets are needed. For a building method to not only be applicable to small projects, it needs to be flexible, adaptable, cost-efficient, fast, and consistent. Flexibility and adaptability refer to the way of building being applicable to various different types of projects. Cost-efficiency and speed are essential for scalability as they make the project feasible. Consistency is important, as inconsistent quality will lead to bad scalability. At CyBe, our decade of technological advancements led to our 3D concrete printing technology checking all the boxes of scalable construction.

In addition to the high level of automation 3D concrete printing enjoys being advantageous for its repeatability, this also holds implications for speed, cost, and sustainability benefits. The more you print, the more efficient the process becomes. With this increasing efficiency, your timelines, expenses, and carbon emissions are inevitably decreasing. As your printing becomes more efficient, you start using less and less material, allowing for more affordable and sustainable construction. The effectiveness of your preparation and printing process leads to quicker construction, as well as fewer labor hours. This way, the affordability, speed, and sustainability of the technique not only lead to high repeatability, but the repeatability, in turn, leads to faster, cheaper, and more sustainable construction. Applied to the technique on large scale projects thus leads to a virtuous circle of benefits.
