3d printer company that developed a large 3d printer called the Delta Big. They are capable in printing many materials including a simple mixture of dirt and straw that is extremely affordable and good for the environment.

Cobod

The bod 2 printer is quite an advanced gantry system. Cobod has the intention of doing module 3d printed construction. They are a one of the market leaders in Europe.

Constructions 3D 

Constructions 3D has a robotic arm printer that resembles a boon. It stands uniquely like a spider and is capable of printing in quite a large radius.

Sq3d

Biggest 3d printed house in America

Winsun

Chinese company that has received over $200 million in investment. They have done many projects but do not have the most advanced technology especially considering the total investment. 

Betabram

Prints square walls

Dshape

Enrico Dini was the first person to ever 3D print a house in concrete.

Mx3d

  1. Hello Mr Gross,
    I liked your approach and information here.
    I am a master student in Germany and doing my master thesis on 3DCP subject. Would it be possible to receive some authentic information to include in my thesis(Literature review & introduction chapter) and include you as an authentic resource?
    it will be great if we can continue via email.

    Ankiet.
