One of the country’s largest and most-advanced 3D construction printers – as in a printer that makes homes – has crossed the Atlantic Ocean and arrived at the University of Florida.
Manufactured by COBOD International in Denmark, the two-story printer was shipped in pieces to the Port of Savannah in Georgia earlier this month. It cleared U.S. Customs and pulled into UF’s East Campus in two semi-trucks Friday morning. It eventually will live in “The Pit” (Weil Hall Structures and Materials Lab), a large industrial space in the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering on the main campus.
