First 3D Printed Social Housing Project Built to New ISO/ASTM Standard Completed 35% Faster Than with Conventional Methods

Europe’s first 3D printed social housing project fully compliant with the international ISO/ASTM 52939:2023 standard has been built in Ireland using COBOD’s BOD2 3D construction printer.

The use of the 3DCP technology meant 35% faster construction and completion in just 132 days compared to conventional methods requiring more than 200 days, with the 3D printed superstructure completed in just 12 printing days.

Load-bearing double cavity walls of 10 cm (3.9 inches) each with no reinforcement printed in accordance with EN206, Eurocode 6 for unreinforced masonry construction and ISO/ASTM 52939:2023.

Award-winning innovation recognized by the National Standards Authority of Ireland for advancing quality and sustainability in 3D construction printing.
