3D Concrete Printing in Multi-Storey Residential Construction
Three four-storey multi-family buildings were developed in Metzingen-Neugreuth. In one of the buildings, the structural walls of the top two floors were produced directly on site using mobile 3D concrete printing.
The load-bearing walls were completed in just four days, reaching heights of up to three meters and wall thicknesses between 16.5 and 19 cm.
PROJECT AT A GLANCE
Metzingen, Germany · Multi-family housing · 4-storey building · top two floors 3D printed · 4 days for structural walls · up to 3 m wall height · 16.5–19 cm wall thickness
The overall development comprises 44 apartments, including 18 subsidized and six accessible units.
Robotics Integrated into
Conventional Construction
The INSTATIQ P1 brings digital production directly to the construction site. Based on digital planning data, the automated boom system places concrete layer by layer to create massive structural walls without traditional formwork.
What makes Metzingen particularly relevant is the direct comparison within the same building: while the lower storeys were constructed conventionally, the structural walls of the top floor were produced using mobile 3D concrete printing.
The project therefore demonstrates how automated construction can be integrated into an established multi-storey building process.
TECHNOLOGY
INSTATIQ P1 · Structural concrete walls · Digital-to-physical execution · Ready-mix concrete · Multi-storey housing
A Direct Step from Conventional to Robotic Construction
Metzingen demonstrates that 3D concrete printing does not require an entirely new construction ecosystem.
Robotic production can take over selected parts of an established construction process while working alongside conventional trades and methods.
This makes the project an important proof point for scaling the technology in residential construction: digital planning, automated wall production and traditional building processes are combined within the same structure.
