Cobod International said that the standout feature of the BOD3 printer is its advanced extendable ground-based track system. The system allows for limitless extension along the Y-axis (length), enabling coverage for 2 or 3 buildings and reducing setup time to a single installation for multi-building projects. 

The company added that its operational stand integrates the control and monitoring of both the 3D printer and supplementary equipment into one user-friendly system. The Advanced Hose Management System (AHMS) transports 3D printable material from the delivery system to the printhead via hoses secured within E-chains, minimising physical labour and optimising material flow.

With a dual dosing system for additives, operators are said to better control the concrete mixture, allowing adjustments based on onsite environmental conditions. By introducing additives directly at the printhead, the system reduces drying time between layers.

Currently deployed in the global market, the BOD3 is actively being used in Indonesia by Modula Tiga Dimensi, Angola by Power2Build, and Bahrain by Ab’aad 3D. 

Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and general manager of Cobod, said, “The global housing crisis demands a more efficient construction solution that is faster, more efficient, and scalable. The BOD3 is our answer to this challenge. Drawing on years of research and expertise, we’ve designed the BOD3 with innovative features, making it our most cost-effective and efficient model yet for multiple low-rise buildings.”
