The first 3-D concrete printed building to be constructed on an Air Force base using a technique known as “additive manufacturing” is at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida. The system uses a “3-D printer” that pumps, or prints, high-strength-concrete at high speeds building walls faster while keeping its form, producing resilient, single-story structures faster than conventional methods and with less waste. The concrete facility is designed to meet or exceed Miami Dade high velocity hurricane zone standards. The building will be evaluated and documented for research and development by Air Force and Army engineers to determine the possibility of applying this method for future military construction projects.
