The printing process is automated as much as possible and almost eliminates the risk of human error.FINISHINGFor the printed walls finishing we additionally used a mineral decorative plaster Reibeputz — KOROED from the manufacturer BITEX. Due to low thermal conductivity of the material (0.As a heat-insulation layer we applied solid plates on the basis of LOGICPIR hard polystyrene.THE TECHNOLOGY AND MATERIALS USEDCONSTRUCTIONConstruction is based on Apis Cor 3D printing technology — a unique equipment, which has no analogues in the world today: mobile construction 3D printer and automatic mix and supply unit.The printer has a small size, easily transportable and does not require long preparation before the commencement of the construction works because it has a built-in automatic horizon alignment and stabilization system.WINDOWSThe the house we installed double windows provided by the partner company Fabrika Okon, which develops innovative windows with climate control. Easy to use and work with.Apis Cor construction 3D printing technology adapted for different methods of printed walls thermal insulation.Selected materials are among the ones with the lowest thermal conductivity coefficient. Membrane patches are welded together with special equipment using hot air. It is a ready-made modular system to create the right main and rear slopes. This project was selected specifically, as one of the main purposes of this construction is to demonstrate the flexibility of equipment and diversity of available forms.A special insulation PIR Slope was used during flat roof installation. Installation works at speeds of up to 1000 m² in a work shift can be done in any weather conditions.

The Apis Cor and PIK companies have successfully completed the project which was announced in December 2016.A distinctive feature of the printer is its design, which is reminiscent of the tower crane, allowing the printer to execute the printing process of constructing the building both inside and outside. Polymer membrane LOGICROOF and insulation LOGICPIR have a combustibility class G1 which provides high fire safety. Printing of self-bearing walls, partitions and building envelope were done in less than a day: pure machine time of printing amounted to 24 hours. China insulation boards Manufacturers The first house printed using mobile 3D printing technology has been built in Stupino town, Moscow region.The first house printed using mobile 3D printing technology has been built in Stupino town, Moscow region. That allows to greatly simplify the structure.022 w/m * k, fill insulation from polyurethane foam- 0. The first house printed using mobile 3D printing technology has been built in Stupino town, Moscow region.The area of the printed building is 38 m². Possesses good hydrophobic properties. The solution proposed by the TechnoNICOL company can effectively withstand high snow loads and durability requirements.Design of the single-story residential house is rather unusual.m), thickness and total weight of the roofing system is much smaller than traditional insulation materials. Although, the equipment itself is able to operate in temperatures down to minus 35° C.OVERLAPPINGSAs overlap insulation we used rock wool ROKLIGHT thermo-acoustic insulating material. Because of this, precipitation will be effectively removed from the surface of the roof.022 w/sq. Coefficient of heat conductivity of PIR crumbs −0.For painting of the entire building in a corporate yellow color we used high-quality exterior paint from BITEX Egalisationsfarbe manufacturer.HOW IT WAS BUILTIn December 2016, the Apis Cor company in cooperation with PIK proceeded to print the building using a mobile 3D printer. The material has high adhesion and vapor permeability, excellent for internal and external finishing works. Winter has added complexity to the project participants, as the use of concrete mixture, that is used as the printing «ink», is only possible at temperatures above 5° C.

The house was erected in the coldest time of the year. Performs the function of a thin-layer decorative plasters on walls that do not require insulation. The house can be of any shape, including the familiar square shape, because the additive technology has no restrictions on design of new buildings, except for the laws of physics.The composition of mineral plaster consists of white cement and ball-shaped marble and granite crumbs, so it can serve as an additional heat insulation and goes well with the thermal insulation systems: can act as a top layer, especially if the insulation used is mineral wool. That will significantly reduce the construction time.INSULATIONInsulation system in the printed house was done using innovative materials of TechnoNICOL companyROOFThe roof of the house in Stupino, in accordance with the architectural project, is flat.023-0, 025 w/m * k (roughly 25-30% more efficient in comparison with standard thermal insulation materials and 100% more efficient than wood).. In the future, with improved equipment, insulation of structures can be carried out in parallel with their printing.Thanks to these properties, to create a comfortable microclimate in the house, quite a small layer is enough.After completing the wall structures, the printer was removed from the building with a crane-manipulator. It means it’s time to talk about the new fantastic potential of architectural solutions. Specially for the project in Stupino, TechnoNICOL corporation chose two innovative ways of insulation: solid insulating material LOGICPIR for one part of the house and liquid polyurethane composition for the other.

Construction took place at the Apis Cor company’s test facility in the town of Stupino, on the territory of the Stupino aerated concrete factory. Its cost is comparable with steep roofs, which are common for our country.The roofing carpet is made of LOGICROOF polymer membranes. Technology does not require fixtures and fills all voids in the space between the bearing wall and outer concrete structure, avoids the formation of cold bridges. The problem was solved by setting up a tent which provided the required temperature. Paint is easy to apply and easily fills the roughness, after drying up it forms a solid matte surface without cracks, is eco-friendly and resistant to weather conditions. The material has high performance and technological installation.Soon, using new materials, such as geopolymer, you will be able to print a house at any time of the year
