- Опубліковано 21 січ 2021
- Printed farms is a construction start up that has recently purchased the first COBOD BOD 2 printer in America. This gantry style system has been seen in Europe and was used by Kamp C to build a 2 story demo house there. The same system is also being used to build another 2 story home in Germany and also a 5 unit apartment complex.

I got the unique opportunity to be on site as they began construction of their first building. The financier of the project decided their first build would be a 30x30 tractor shed. In Florida the hurricanes can have extremely high wind speeds. Fortunately the printed concrete is very sturdy with a strength over 5000 psi.
Although Printed Farms is a relatively new start up their founders Jim Ritter and Fredrik Wannius are not new to construction. Jim has financed construction projects across a range of uses and realized in that process how inefficient traditional construction models can be. Many of these struggles relate to organizing the large team of people that it takes to construct a building especially with the ongoing shortage of manual labor in many regions. Reducing manpower needed for the job is only a small part of the benefits realized with 3D printed construction technology. Data is everything and when you have a BOD 2 system plugged into a laptop onsite you have full control of the project at your fingertips.
The printer is equipped with various sensors to improve ease of use but it still requires some training to operate. If the ground or slab that you’re printing on is uneven, the BOD 2 is able to compensate for those irregularities, there is also a sensor in the extruder portion of the printer that alerts the concrete pump to send more through the hose. Generally the COBOD team would come out to train the print operator in person but due to typical 2020 complications the training process was completed online. Fredrik has become very competent with the massive 3D printer and feels like the online training was very good although he still collaborates with the COBOD team if he has any questions.
Printing outside exposed to the elements was a substantial feat achieved in this build. Many projects have needed protective tents surrounding them in order to maintain specific temperatures and humidity. When you need to build a temporary structure around an entire construction site things start to get expensive with the current solutions. Floridas natural climate allowed for this project to be completed outside.
Printed Farms has many fascinating projects in the pipeline that Fredrik discusses in the video. Although most of the printing is currently experimental, 3D printing in construction is at a transformative stage and soon its products will become consumer facing.

This is a technology in it's infancy. I worked on the x-y coordinate plotter system 45-50 years ago and we have that down pat. Using it for 3d printing is going to change things in a major way. To many, this looks slow and a little crude, but these are pioneers you're watching. What they do and learn today will lead to much more refined and advanced models and techniques in the coming years. 10-12 years from now they'll be building apartments and entire neighborhoods with a quality and speed considered a dream today.
Yes! So many don’t understand this!
I got in touch with Fredrick and hopefully in a year or so we will be able to print house for us in Florida. I'm glad we postponed the building.
Will see how it works out financially comparing to traditional build.
This is the technology that will really help humanity. Use it for good.
Our family is making the move to FL soon on a large 60+ acres property. Hoping to get a large 3d printed home 🏡 🙏 if the tech is there within 2 yrs. Will definitely be in contact with his company in the future. Thanks for this video man!! So much good info to process in this video. Prices will be even better without having to tent a project, awesome.
We're honored to be a part of this project!
any jobs?
@@bayan6325 this machine will make jobs unnecessary
Has hemp crete been tested in these printers. I have been curious about it's use with 3D print technology because of it's strength.
@@johnnyoneye2641 😂😂😂
Wow a brick layer man with a shirt and sunglasses working from him laptop.
That's the future, i will invest in it.
I'm so interested in this technology. I want to get in this game while it is early.
What do u do now
@@ldmnk3493 I'm a huge UA-cam star. Oh, you mean for money. I'm a Realtor, and I have rental properties.
Hi, contact us from our webpage or instagram
@@TheRetirementality liked for the sarcasm.
P
This honestly I believe will be the future of building homes and so much more. Costal areas and places where high winds or fire and the like will greatly improve. Imagine all the homes saved from say hurricane damage or wild fires like those in california & oregon . No more termite damage also . Plus all the trees we save across the planet so cleaner Air . I pray this catches on with many states and across the planet.
While I find this tech interesting, I don't think that is all that much more in terms of longevity or protective measures. My house, about 10 miles from Lake Worth, FL (where I assume this building was done based on the video) was built in 1959. I'm about 1/2 mile from the ocean. It has been through multiple hurricanes without any significant damage. I don't have any termites. It is made with concrete block construction and has a typical wood truss roofing system.
As for cleaner air, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Look into cement manufacturing. It is not exactly the cleanest industry. From what I understand, most building limber is actually farm grown and considered sustainable.
The biggest value I can see with this process is labor savings but that doesn't necessarily translate into more affordable homes. We can hope it does but time will tell on that.
Thanks for the video and detailed explanation.
More coming
Excellent work!! 3D Printing will, and is changing the world big time. Thank you.
this is awesome definitely the future of construction tech
How come...? There is no steel reinforcement! It looks nice. The tech is impressive...but don't be blind about the strength. How will it go in an earthquake?
@@mebeasensei We have reinforcement and material is 9000 psi.
As a South Florida resident who works in technology, I am very interested in this field. I'm amazed at how awesome that building came out. From the front it looks almost like a newly built fire department. The smooth curved walls look amazing and I like how the side door can swing out and extend all the way. Very cool roof construction as well. 10/10! Can't wait to see what you both have lined up next.
Great video, good info. This one answered a lot of my questions. Thanks
I've worked in construction, and I have the crippling injuries to live with for the rest of my life. Being in the US, there is no compensation for that. I love the idea of automated construction. It will reduce the number of people like me in the world.
Yes , we kill our body to make a living ..... then when we can afford to retire we have too many injuries
They should also brag that the entire unit fits on one longbed semi truck trailer. AND thermal insulating foamcrete can be used as the fill. Also a thermal stand-off wall can be put into the print design, stabilized with holding wires.
Awesome!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!! Fascinating process!
I would LOVE to learn this process! Better yet, I NEED to learn it
The next step is continuous mesh embedment..... And auto-trowel Not particularly hard to make an attachment for those two, but much better results in strength and appearance long term. Remember, you heard it here first! lol.
great video bro!!!! congrats on getting down there!!!!! looking forward to speaking more about the project! Sean Nugent Forward Design Buildings
Wonderful. We want it in Montreal area
I'm very interested in this technology. This is the future of building. It has so many benefits. I've been in the construction industry for 25 years. I live in Houston, Tx. As we all know, labor and material has gone through the roof. This technology will improve the housing, and commercial industry. Very impressed, I would like to know how to get involved.
Blue Polo and blue shades, this man means business.
:)
This is insane!!
So far that dicribs the progress
so good,l want one
Good luck next guys we suggest build building industrys next movement made 3D taller cranes
As much as I love 3D printing, I have a small print farm and work in the concrete business as well. I still believe converting a concrete boom pump to run on Gcode would be far superior, to any of these gantry set ups.
Do you know how to 3D print model homes ? Like a 3D printer that can 3D print a house but in model form.
Penn State has been 3D printing in the USA for over 8 years with a Duo 2000. NASA even had them print a sample habit for Mars.
Army Corp of Engineers build a B-hut in 2017.
I would like to see someone take a sledgehammer to a section once cured. Cut into it with a saw and drill through the material. How does it react and hold up. How does it perform in the desert? This is very neat
9000 psi after 28 days.
@@printedfarms443 very impressive.
I'm here in Australia and I'd love to get into this and turn the building trade on its head the cost here to build homes is way pass gone crazy . With a quick or rough guess how much would it cost to start up for a owner and operator.
11.21 - The last major industry that is not automated ... Bang !
prefab looks better to me. Just build the walls inside a plant. And then place than fast with windows, etc.. ready installed on site together.. These slurry walls have to worked on on the inside and the outside after printing.. It's a mess.. !
@@eurovisie2010 - well let's wait until the first fire goes through shall we ... or a hurricane ...or a bunch of white-ants gets into the bottom plate, or a horse kicks the wall .... I could go on. Lightweight construction methods are great if you want it cheap and fast ... but serious people build with concrete. The reason it is a 'mess' is because manufacturing with robotics, on site, has just been invented.
is the foundations for the 3D printer also 3D printed? This is great stuff! is the future of construction? The walls look rather sloppy and the electrical sockets are too high from the floor! I think this would be great for a barn! Interesting concept indeed!
This is the future
This is great technology and I feel certain this is the future oh, but I can build a pier and beam pole barn 30 x 30 in 3 days
Game changer
Do they have to pour those concrete support pads or did they bring them in and just place them there?
Thank you for sharing. I look forward to see 3D high rise condominium soon.
Congrats. This is awesome! That thing is insanely big. I would like a modern, open concept, no drywall, no interior doors, flat pitched roof and exposed plumbing and electrical in my next Central Florida house. Print the house, print my perimeter fence and print my driveway and patio.
It should also print the dog, doghouse and a shiny sun on a cloudy day... while were at it, let's print an electrician that works for $20/hr instead of $90/hr. On second thought let's just bypass all the middlemen and busy work altogether and have it print money. Building in the future will "cost" less but "sell" for just as much, probably more.
Hi Jarett. I'm writing a college paper about 3D printed structures and so far it has been impossible to find R-values or even generic energy numbers for any type of 3D printed walls. I know this is a very competitive space right now for all the various companies, but they don't seem to be publishing anything concerning the energy efficiency of the envelope. Do you know of any resources that could help me with R-values, or things like vapor migration and permeability? I can't even find stats for seismic ratings or wind loads. Is it just too early in the development process to expect these things? Thank you for any insight or information that you can provide.
The R value of the printed wall itself is quite low, essentially negligible. You can achieve any insulation desired with foam inserts spray foam or a particle based insulation. For your paper I would simply research the best insulation methods for your desired climate and assess the viability of using those products on a printed building. I would be happy to discuss this further and even potentially make a video out of it in the future. Insulation is an important aspect of implementing this tech. Feel free to email further question to jarett@3dprinted.construction
hahaha because they have none :)
How long does the setup take, ie building the support blocks for the printer frame legs??
Can you design and program for electrical., hvac, plumbing etc ?
I noticed in the video that there is minimal metal reinforcement (only very thin bar, laterally placed every 5 layers or so). How can one be sure that this is enough for long term structural strength? Does the concrete mix have fiber in it? Is there something else which allows such minimal reinforcement?
Also vertical cells filled with rebar.
Where can I invest
Print a benchy whit it xD
If this comment gets 100 likes I’ll try and get a company to do a video printing a benchy!
@@automateconstructionAwesome machine. I have 2 FDM and a resin printer. I thought my 400x400x400mm was big. :) How deep in the ground can this print? IE Basement walls...
@@ericadams5019 I haven't seen a basement printed yet, it may have to be done offsite. I'm sure we will see it one day.
hi, i love C3D , what are those metal wires you put between? can i work for you?
I can see this really being a big asset to California housing and not so much in rainy climates. California has earthquake standards to be met in construction . Is there a square foot cost average ?
Tenting or environmental control of some sort. True it drives up cost. What should be evaluated is quality cost benefit. Not just cost.
This method of "building" has so much promise but it seems slow. Why not include a second (or even a third) moveable "printer" so more areas of the structure could be worked on simultaneously? It would be interesting to see a community of these homes/structures built and finished along with cost and time to construct information.
All in good time
A happy vast improvement for humanity. Removes all those lazy rip off building techniques that young families pay through the nose for and banks life-long mortgage servitude.
Speed of 3D printing has obliterated laziness overnight, there’s going to be mountains of expensive tools and long learned skills suddenly obsolete.
It’s surreal how today’s computer-tech has suddenly ensured 3D-printing simplicity really makes a house far stronger…than the brittle corporate composites builders have slowly evolved…within hours!
This is a great step towards sustainability and a moneyless society!

Hey Jarrett!
I just found your channel this morning. I liked, subscribed, and hit the bell! I'm based in South Texas near Starbase, where SpaceX is developing its Starship rocket in an effort to make human beings a multi-planetary species. I've become increasingly interested in 3D printed homes for affordable housing purposes as well as for the future buildout of a human colony on Planet Mars.
I have spent the last 6 months documenting the buildout of the city of Starbase, Texas, and I feel 3D printing housing will be a tremendous game-changer for rapid builds, affordability, and replication of the building process as we make our way into the cosmos.
I appreciate all that you're doing as you travel the world to document different 3D-printed housing projects!
Keep it up! Cheers from Starbase, Boca Chica, Texas -- which Elon calls the Gateway to Mars 🚀
Jessica Kirsh
Wow that’s awesome! I’d love to hear more about your documentation of the Starbase village! Send me an email jarett@3dprinted.construction
Will you have an IPO at any time?
So the house dimension is limited by the printer dim... is that right? These houses have metal bars in the key areas for stability? If not, how stable is the house in front of Earthquakes? Fuel consumption i guess is high for the printer.
I think setup time is the major drawback, and it looks like a crane was needed to move the equipment...
There will always be room for improvement for the next couple decades at least.
Here in Texas homes are built quicker than it would take to get those footings prepared and the equipment set up. The cost of moving all the equipment to and from the job site has to be figured into the cost of construction. I'm sure each day you have to spend a few hours setting up all the equipment to do the job before you start and at the end a few hours cleaning it. I could see something like this being cost-effective if you were building a whole neighborhood and the system was on rails, wheels, or belt tracks and it never had to stop beside for maintenance.
@@TexasDronePilot
Agreed, and I think that ICF is going to quickly make it obsolete...
It's quite interesting the notice that the operator at 12:18 is claiming to be moving at 50 cm per second while the machine seems move much slower. Just by looking at the distance it is moving of about 1 meter takes roughly 8 seconds..... I can's see a machine with such an interia move at those speeds.
Printing 30 cm per day is like stacking lego bricks on top of each other instead of having 1 unified structure how does that affect the structural intergraty of the walls?
I believe he’s referencing capability not current speed and as discussed the pump limits the speed. Pumps in Europe are stronger and allow the machine to print faster.
He said 15cm per second.
@@coronachan3250 That actually makes more sense, thanks!
Even with the speed the labor cost once scaled is reduced dramatically
Looks like the mortar material is more watery !!! What do you think.....???
How much does this machine cost? I'm a recent Mechanical Engineering grad and was wondering what kind of software do you use to build 3d structures like this? If I'm capable of using solidworks or inverntor should that suffice to design and build ?
I'd love to learn what to do in this industry.
Hey Jarett, Very informative channel you have on this new technology. I was wondering if you've asked Printed Farms about their cost breakdown/analysis.
We need more buildings to nail down exact costs.
It would be faster to have more than one printhead operating at a time, one prints 1/2 the structure, the other prints the other half. But if time to print isn't a big concern, then I guess this idea is moot. :)
where is the plumbing and electric? and if installed in concrete how would you remodel or fix plumbing or electrical issues behind the concrete wall?
Only electric it’s just a garage.
there are many simple ways if you think about it . cut the hole for junction boxes for power , lights and switches , drop the conduit down into the wall cavity , fit the conduit elbow retainer nut or clip , then you can fill the wall with insulation if using any and pull the cables last after the robot has finished rendering the interior and exterior walls.
@@heartobefelt ehh alright point. I sure would not want that in my home. What if someone wants to remodel and re-frame the house to be bigger? haha
Is this part one of two for your newer video?
@TEC UA-cam Nice comment. Thanks
'We want to show that 3D printing is better faster and cheaper' ... also, 'We're making exclusivity deals with materials manufacturers.'
Sharing tech will scale the industry a lot faster.
This is awesome I would like homes built on my land 7 acres in Georgia
Good exemple of "When the assistants know the business man chef doesn't know much on the topic....."
Can this building withstand earthquake ? How many ...... Ritcher magnitude scale this printer building standard ?
I would like to invest into this
That was going to be my question. How do we invest?
im also looking to invest in this, there are 1-2 trading firms managing index funds that just started to invest in various c3d companies ✌🏿still too early but it will be interesting

Awesome work, folks! It would be amazing if miniature 3d printers can be taught to students, starting as early as elementary education, right after student learn to do Lego construction.
Is there any rebar involved with these bldgs
Yes
I want one
Can you tell us How much CO2 you generated with this method? Also how do insulated theses walls?
Very cool.
What is your favorite 3D printer type? Why?

Are these or others available for purchase yet? If not, when?
Price or estimated price(s)?
Thank you
Yeah this one is $400k is too early for me to pick a favorite but my investigation continues.
Im following this cutting edge technology and enjoy your videos. I know its been around for some time, but I hope it's here to stay and become the new standard. Can I contact you by email for more info? Thanks 👍🏻
@@jeffturner6698 Me too Jeff.
You can reach me here.
Jarett@3dprinted.construction
I see serious sand supply shortages
If everything is printed.
Ok where do i sign 🤔
The drawback to these kinds of buildings is that you’re very limited when you want to make renovations.
This is a dead end. Prefab modular construction is so much faster, cheaper, and better quality.
How can I get involved in investing in 3D printing of houses?
30 years 🤣 Coming a lot faster than that.
Watch out for sinkholes!! That's allotta concrete!!
Wonder if they are using binders , polymer or some liquid strengtheners like carbon or graphite
Powdered Hemp fibers or something 😁😎🕳️
And a major question is : what happens to people, whom used to work in the building industry???
Why do you say used to? They still will. There is enormous demand for construction labor.
I request you to please educate civil engineers with the help of various research work that you are conducting to test this advanced technological innovation through zoom , google meet etc. This will help you to get in touch with various interested people , who would love to explore with you on this interesting new innovation of construction industry.
I’m too busy to speak with everyone personally so I’m forced to charge for consulting services which can be booked on my website. If you have a list of questions I could make a video addressing them for UA-cam.
Yes I have
1)How and when you thought of becoming a part of this new innovation. Please also share with us various growth milestones you achieved while pursuing this.
@@sheeladhvajsingh7712 I saw the $10,000 house video and got all excited like many of you, when I saw it wasn't a reality yet I just never gave up on the idea. One day when I find a vastly cheaper construction method I would like to help implement it until the supply of homes is far greater than demand.
Since this is in Florida how does FBC and FFPC codes play into this building ?
They don’t this is a private agricultural use.
that is the problem in most first world countries.
Foamcrete , Geopolymer , insulated thermal sandwich laminates , they all have rough hurdles to obtain compliance to building codes.
When everyone stops bitching and agrees to a standard for these materials then it can go gangbusters . right now its the main obstacle.
In third world countries , no such problem.
How much do one of these machines cost?
How do you finish the exterior, stucco with a potassium silicate colored finish?
What happens if it rains?
Insulation Data?? Ty.
Great...they're not using this to solve housing shortages, according to Jim, he wants to remove labor from the equation.
Its a pretty odd name for the company , considering what it is that you produce .
I like the idea but I hate the finish work it looks sloppy
eh to each their own
That's not going very far. Prefab is still by far the best.
Great News! I like it. It will solve the crisis housing problems in the U.S soon.
This is so awesome. Where can I invest?
Are you an institutional or accredited investor
@@automateconstruction No, just an average person looking for a growth opportunity :-D I probably should have stated that earlier. :-)
So the price varied by 100%, that means one contractor was going to do it FREE!
Funny analysis but mathematically false statement... 100% is just a 2x increase. A price of $10 is 100% larger than $5.
Can this print a dome home?
TBD
The tent part...why cant you "build" a tent around it for like 0 USD? I already now know how to do it. Unless it has to be stormproof my idea will work. If it can 2x the building speed it would be well worth it.
