The idea behind the application is to reuse recycled plastic in the construction industry. In an XXL 3D printer, which was integrated into a sea freight container, elements for house construction are created. Thanks to its transportability, the system is extremely flexible and can be used directly on site without the need for time-consuming transport of construction elements.

Components for building houses are often very large, which is why a large 3D printer has to be used. With dimensions of 3m x 3m x 6m, this printing unit is far above the usual size.
Depending on the area of application, humidity and dirt play a major role. The room linear robot therefore had to be free of lubrication and maintenance to ensure smooth operation.

An igus room linear robot XXL in combination with a 3D printing head. At the back, the plastic waste is loaded in a prepared form, while at the front the printer prints components which then are ready to be delivered for the building process. The unit can be transported completely in a freight container from place of use to place of use.
