A social housing development in Bezannes, France has set a new benchmark for 3D construction printing in Europe. The project, called ViliaSprint², delivers 12 apartments across three floors and roughly 800 square meters of livable space, making it the continent’s largest 3D printed multi-family residential building to date. The structure was brought to life through a collaboration between PERI 3D Construction, Danish printer manufacturer COBOD, concrete supplier Holcim, and developer Plurial Novilia, a subsidiary of Action Logement. What made the build stand out was the pace. The printing phase, which covered the entire load-bearing structure and all walls directly on-site, wrapped up in 34 days, well under the 50 originally projected.
