Matthäi Schlüsselfertigbau, a subsidiary of the German development big Matthäi, has established its personal development 3D printing division.
The choice adopted the profitable completion of the corporate’s new two-story headquarters of 364 m² (3,920 SF) in Selsingen, Decrease Saxony, printed with a COBOD BOD2 development 3D printer and occupied in July 2026.
Matthäi Schlüsselfertigbau has established its personal development 3D printing division. Matthäi is one among Germany’s 20 largest development teams with over 3,300 staff and greater than €1 billion in income.
The choice to ascertain an personal development 3D printing division adopted the profitable development of a brand new headquarters utilizing a COBOD BOD2 development printer.
PERI 3D Building acted as expertise companion and supervisor through the printing part, in collaboration with architects Schulenburg and a planning agency Mense-Korte.
Partitions of each flooring printed in about 105 hours utilizing Holcim’s TectorPrint materials, with the constructing’s type produced straight from the digital mannequin.
Bernd Mergard, managing director of Matthäi Schlüsselfertigbau (translated from German), says: “All the Matthäi Group is proud to have the ability to notice the primary 3D-printed constructing in Northern Germany.
“Along with our companions at PERI 3D Building, we’re taking an vital step into the way forward for development. As soon as once more, this exhibits how strongly Matthäi combines entrepreneurial development with innovation and progress.”
The constructing measures round 7.4 m (24 ft) excessive, 22.5 m (74 ft) lengthy and 13.5 m (44 ft) deep, printed throughout two full storeys. It gives 364 m² (3,920 SF) of usable area, with 170 m² (1,830 SF) on the bottom flooring and 194 m² (2090 SF) on the primary flooring.
