Construction isn’t running out of projects, it’s running out of people.

Automation helps bridge the gap, enabling fewer workers to build more.

By automating heavy and repetitive tasks, efficiency increases, physical strain decreases, and skilled workers can focus on precision and quality.

💬 “We can go home without back pain, the machine does the heavy lifting.” said one construction worker at the Matthäi Bauunternehmen GmbH & Co. KG project in Germany.

Automation doesn’t replace construction workers, it keeps them in the trade.

Regulatory alignment will define how fast automation scales.

Innovation doesn’t happen only in research labs or on construction sites. It also depends on the decisions made in offices and ministries that determine which technologies reach wider adoption.

For methods like 3D construction printing, progress depends on understanding. From on-site teams to policymakers, everyone needs to realize how automation can improve construction, making it faster, safer, and more sustainable.

That’s why COBOD actively takes part in the discussions shaping construction’s future. Recently, Simon Klint Bergh visited the Danmarks Ambassade i Norge to discuss how 3D construction printing can support future building needs.

💬 What kind of collaboration between industry and policymakers do you think will have the greatest impact on construction automation?

04/11/2025

Construction is one of the most complex and resource-intensive industries, and that’s exactly why it holds enormous potential for innovation.

Multiple participants, interdependent processes, and heavy resource demands make construction uniquely challenging, all while under pressure to deliver faster and meet ambitious sustainability goals.

Traditional approaches alone can’t keep up. Driving the industry forward requires innovation on multiple fronts:

1️⃣ Automation – Reducing manual tasks to ease workforce pressure and improve efficiency.

2️⃣ Materials – Minimizing environmental impact by developing low-CO₂ alternatives and optimizing locally-sourced mixes.

3️⃣ Technology adoption – An open approach to innovation, focused on investing in scalable, long-term solutions that simplify future construction.

At COBOD, research and development of automated construction technology is the core of how we help the industry build smarter and achieve its productivity and sustainability goals, despite a decreasing workforce.

💬 How do you see R&D shaping the next phase of innovation in construction?

High housing demand makes 3D construction printing a natural fit for homes. But focusing only on housing limits the technology’s real potential.

3D construction printing is already being applied far beyond residential buildings:

🌊 Stonereefs is creating 3D printed reefs to increase marine biodiversity in Danish harbors.

🏭 Grondplek and Techint Engineering & Construction are exploring industrial applications.

💧 Abyan Building Construction Company is building water tanks to address infrastructure needs.

With customers pioneering projects across sectors, COBOD’s technology demonstrates how automation can adapt to different materials, environments, and structural requirements. These projects prove that the technology is tested, reliable, and continuously evolving.

With strong R&D engagement, the industry is focused on improvement, innovation, and finding new ways to meet global challenges.

Did you know that “3D printed homes” is searched 10 times more often than “3D construction printing”?

Homes may attract the most attention, but the industry is capable of much more, from schools and industrial facilities to wind turbine towers and social housing.

To make the full potential of this technology visible, collaboration is essential. Together, we can show what 3D construction printing can really deliver.

👉 When you think of 3D construction printing, do you connect it only to homes or to the broader industry behind it?

Optimized wall geometry enables up to 40.8% material savings in 3D printed water tanks

3D construction printing allows material use to match actual structural demands, reducing wall thickness where less strength is needed.

In a recent project in Poland, GLOBTANK used COBOD’s BOD2 printer to 3D print the first drinking water tank with a tapered wall design, maintaining a constant inner diameter while gradually reducing the outer diameter toward the top.

Compared to conventional molded tanks, where wall thickness remains uniform due to fixed molds, this design achieved:

🔹 20.5% material savings in the middle section
🔹 40.8% savings at the top section

These reductions were made possible by applying three nozzle sizes (250 mm, 200 mm, and 150 mm) allowing the wall to taper in alignment with structural loads.

By combining smart geometry with adaptive printing, the project demonstrates how 3D construction printing can deliver measurable material efficiency without compromising performance.

👉 Could your next project benefit from the same approach? Let’s discuss how COBOD technology can help.

Why is 3D construction printing material efficient?

Because walls can be printed with exactly the thickness required for structural integrity, placing material only where it’s needed, reducing both waste and cost.

This precision comes from nozzle design. For example, a 200 mm nozzle can print one wide wall in a single pass, instead of four 50 mm layers placed side by side. The outcome is higher productivity and stronger walls, with one solid layer instead of multiple bonded ones.

💬 Where do you see the greatest potential for this approach in your projects?

How 3D construction printing reduces waste

By extruding material only where it is needed, layer by layer, 3DCP eliminates formwork and minimizes use. Optimized wall designs, including cavities, tapers, and curved paths, further reduce material without compromising structural integrity.

The result is lower material consumption, less waste, and greater efficiency while maintaining strength and performance.

💬 How could 3DCP reduce waste in your projects?

The sustainability of a building is decided long before construction begins.

Early design and planning decisions determine how much material will be needed, how efficiently the site will run, and how much waste is created before anyone moves in.

Yet too often, the conversation focuses on energy use after completion. But the footprint from formwork, excess material, and over-ordered material is already locked in much earlier.

Real impact comes from smarter planning from day one.

💬 What do you think is the most overlooked sustainability factor in the planning phase?

09/09/2025

Construction generates over 2 billion tons of waste annually

Every discarded formwork panel, every material off-cut, every rework on-site adds to the problem, driving up costs and consuming resources unnecessarily.

This is not a marginal issue. It is one of the construction industry’s greatest challenges.

💬 Where do you see the biggest source of waste on construction sites?
