Designing for 3D Printing

Curious how to design a building for 3D printing? You’re in the right place.

This page walks you through the key design criteria to keep in mind from day one, so your building is printable on any COBOD machine.

3D printing is a fundamentally different construction method – and that means it comes with its own set of rules. Get familiar with them early, and the printing process becomes smooth and predictable. This page is for architects, engineers, designers, and anyone shaping the architecture behind a 3D printed build.
