The 3D concrete printing firm Apis Cor, based in Florida, wants to alter perceptions of the sector. As it markets its cutting-edge building product, the company is soliciting money in a fresh round of fundraising. With high-quality homes that are more reasonably priced and constructed to resist extreme weather, it seeks to stimulate the housing market.
With its assortment of 3D-printed building equipment, Apis Cor hopes to address the housing issue. With the rise in popularity of 3D printing in buildings, Apis Cor's solutions can speed up and improve the quality of home construction. Their combined tools provide a full construction solution that ensures precise, consistent outcomes.
Included in this are its small construction robot Frank, which is capable of printing a two-story structure with unlimited square footage, its mixing and pumping unit Gary, which maintains a steady supply of 3D print material, and the delivery system Mary, which keeps the construction site stocked and operating efficiently.

Using a special 3D concrete printing ingredient from Heidelberg Materials, the largest 3D printed structure in Europe in Heidelberg, Germany is now being built. Beginning at the end of March 2023, construction on the building will commence; it should be done by the end of July 2023. When completed, the commercial building by KRAUSGRUPPE, which will measure around 54 metres long, 11 metres wide, and 9 metres high, will house a data centre.
Heidelberg Materials will contribute 450t of I.tech 3D, a material made exclusively for 3D concrete printing that is 100 per cent recyclable, to the project.
Major players in the 3D Concrete Printing market, including Winsun (China, Sika (Switzerland), XtreeE (France), CSP s.r.l.(Italy), CyBe Construction (Netherlands), Monolite UK (UK), Apis Cor (Russia), and others, are attempting to increase market demand by investing in research and development operations.
