Holcim has announced that a 12-unit residential structure, ViliaSprint² in Bezannes, France, was finished in a year. Nice to see that people seem to be properly building structures rather than doing fly-by-night 24-hour demos. The structure was built by Plurial Novilia (a subsidiary of Action Logement) using TectorPrint, a binder for mortar that comes in two versions. One is ready to print while the other is mixed twice and can be used as micro mortar or concrete with strengths ranging from 15 to 90 MPa. This material was previously used by Holcim, GE Energy and Cobod for wind turbine towers. Previously, on the 3D Villaprint Project in 2018, the ink material was supplied by VICAT.
Other partners in this project, which will also include a follow-up phase in ViliaSprint², are PERI 3D Constr
