Czech 3D concrete printing is heading around the world this year

The PURPOSIA Group investment holding company has big ambitions this year. With its subsidiary Coral Construction Technologies and its 3D concrete printing technology, it is targeting markets in the US, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Japan.

The Merida Yucatán villa is to be built in Mexico as a pilot project, showcasing all the possibilities of 3D concrete printing technology from the Czech company Coral Construction Technologies, part of the Purposia Group.

“Our goal for this year is to prove that 3D printing technology deserves the trust of the general public, architects, and investors because it is highly efficient, sustainable, and meets the needs of the 21st century,” explains Jan Hasík, CEO of the PURPOSIA Group investment holding company.

Part of Purposia’s investments are directed towards innovations that ensure greater automation in the construction industry, and 3D concrete printing technology is moving in precisely this direction. The savings in human resources and finances here reach up to 70%. The fact that this is by no means an experimental technology is proven by the first 3D-printed, highly functional buildings from Coral, built using its own patented 3D concrete printing machine.

The latest generation of Coral printing machines will also be presented this year at the world’s largest construction trade fair, World of Concrete, in Las Vegas. Coral will also present completed projects such as the Kopřivná cable car in Malá Morávka and a tiny house in Luxembourg.

Czech footprint in Mexico

3D concrete printing is an efficient, affordable, and flexible technology that allows the creation of high-quality and safe structures of any shape and size. This makes it a highly competitive tool, which has also attracted the interest of investors in Saudi Arabia and Japan, where the Purposia Group is organizing several conferences on the possibilities of 3D concrete printing in cooperation with the CzechTrade agency. Further presentations will follow in Brussels, Miami, and Orlando.

In Mexico, negotiations are currently at an advanced stage for the implementation of a 3D-printed social housing project or luxury private villa. This will be a pilot project that will utilize all the possibilities of 3D concrete printing. At the same time, specific climatic conditions such as high temperature and humidity must be taken into account. In collaboration with local architects and authorities, a unique, organically shaped two-story villa with a spacious atrium and swimming pool will be created.
