Mobile 3D concrete printing at industrial scale
In Neubulach, the world’s first supermarket built using 3D concrete printing was realized. With around 1,700 m² of floor area and more than 1,300 m² of printed wall surface, the project takes mobile 3D concrete printing into large-scale commercial construction.
The structural concrete walls were produced directly on site using the mobile INSTATIQ P1. The wall construction, including structural interfaces, was completed in around four weeks.
PROJECT AT A GLANCE
Neubulach, Germany · Supermarket · approx. 1,700 m² floor area · >1,300 m² printed wall surface · approx. 292 m³ concrete · walls up to 7 m high · approx. 4 weeks wall construction
Two Mobile Robots
on One Construction Site
The wall structures were produced almost entirely using automated 3D concrete printing. Thanks to the mobility of the INSTATIQ P1, the robots could be repositioned across the construction site to print different sections of the building.
During selected construction phases, two mobile INSTATIQ P1 robots operated in parallel on the same jobsite for the first time. This demonstrated how printing capacity can be scaled for larger buildings through the parallel use of multiple systems.
Around 292 m³ of specially adapted ready-mix concrete was processed. The project also used evoZero® from Heidelberg Materials, a near-zero cement based on carbon capture and storage technology.

From Individual Buildings to Industrial-Scale 3D Concrete Printing
Supermarkets and similar building types combine large wall areas with repetitive geometries and demanding requirements for schedule reliability and process efficiency.
Neubulach demonstrates how automated 3D concrete printing can be integrated into a conventional commercial construction process at significantly larger scale.
For INSTATIQ, the project is an important proof of scalability: large building dimensions, walls up to seven meters high, integration with conventional structural elements and, for the first time, two printing robots operating in parallel.
