Dutch company CyBe Construction have placed a concrete 3D printer, the CyBe RC 3Dp, on rubber wheel tracks giving it the ability to roam around a construction site. While concrete 3D printers are not a new innovation, withSunconomy already attempting to 3D print houses, CyBe believe they are the first to create a mobile concrete 3D printer and so we asked them about their future plans for the printer.
Using 3D printing in construction means the process can be cheaper, faster and create less waste. However, there are some limitations to the method including the range or distance the devices can cover. This offering from CyBe attempts to alleviate the issue by attaching rubber tracks to the concrete printer which when coupled with extendable legs means printing can take place on even the toughest terrains. By extending the undercarriage of the 3D printer it can reach heights up to 4.5 meters tall.
它可以打印什么？
由于Cybe的快速干燥混凝土砂浆以200毫米/s的速度以600 mm/s的速度增强，因此打印机可以快速打印。CYBE 3D可打印的砂浆意味着可以在印刷后的一个小时内形成负载轴承结构，这是该打印机成功的关键。正如Cybe解释的那样，移动打印机具有多种应用程序，它可以打印模板，墙壁，下水道，基台，地板等。
虽然目前的印刷品并不是最令人愉悦的，但这款混凝土3D打印机确实非常适合快速，便宜地打印基本结构。特别是因为增加的移动性意味着可以在现场进行打印，而不必从仓库运输印刷品。但是，由于加泰罗尼亚的设计师最近展示了他们的3D打印混凝土3D打印桥.
在迪拜申请
Following announcement of the printer, the next task for CyBe and their mobile 3D printer is to test how it functions on-site and they will do exactly that by transporting a CyBe RC 3Dp to Dubai early next year. The enterprise will work with the Dubai Electric and Water Authority (DEWA) in order to develop the R&Drone Laboratory and have already begun planning and designing the construction.
R＆Drone实验室是一个大型项目，Cybe将在该项目中设计和打印结构。在2017年第一季度，Cybe将将移动设备运送到迪拜。DEWA指出，他们想将3D打印纳入未来的建筑物，Cybe将负责设计，工程和现场生产3D混凝土建筑组件。涉及的其他组织包括结构工程师Witteveen + BOS，主要承包商Convrgnt和Architects Wanders-Wagner。
