UCC Holding, in partnership with Qatar’s Public Works Authority (Ashghal), has announced that it has officially commenced the printing phase of the 3D printed schools project – marking the launch of the world’s largest construction development using 3D printing technology.

INSTATIQ, a 3D concrete printing specialist spun off from the Germany-headquartered Putzmeister Group, recently showcased its innovative mobile printer that prints concrete directly on-site without formwork. Thanks to a clever combination of mobile concrete pump and robot technology, walls can be built quickly, sustainably and precisely, it says.
