D.fab overview

A material system developed by CEMEX and COBOD

D.fab is the result of years of joint development. It is designed to reduce the cost of 3D-printing materials significantly and improve availability by sourcing 99% of the mix locally.

COBOD’s goal is to enable printing with materials from every region. Concrete specialists can help identify suitable local inputs and certify supplier quality.

  • Reduce the cost of 3D-printed materials.
  • Source almost all ingredients locally.
