More than 200 people gathered Thursday to witness what some believe is the future of construction.
to research how to best use 3D technology in the real world. OSU officials hope to use the machine and a team of experts from different departments to become a national authority on building with 3D printers.
DiMarco said he hopes the printer can produce a small building somewhere on campus in the next few years.The COBOD printer works like other 3D printers: material is extruded from a moving nozzle, layer upon layer, guided by a pattern programmed into the machine. Windows, doors, flooring, roofs, mechanicals, countertops and other finishes are manually added after the walls are set. The BOD2 can"print" buildings up to 30-by-30 feet, though it can be expanded to produce buildings up to 75-by-75 feet.OSU's machine uses a blend of Quikrete as its building material, but DiMarco noted that one advantage of 3D printed buildings is that they can use local material.
Asked Thursday how much a 3D printed home might cost, Pantheon CEO Ryan Kelly said no one really knows yet, but he estimated it could be 40% less than conventional construction.Constructing buildings with 3D printers has its limitations. It's difficult to build higher than one story, roofs must be manually installed, and printers must be powered and set firmly on concrete footers.
