Lviv starts building a school on a 3D printer
It will become the world's largest printed object
The report specifies that this project is the first in Ukraine to be implemented using 3D printing in the construction industry. It aims to provide access to education for children affected by the Russian war in Ukraine.
“Destroyed schools and other educational institutions deprive the younger generation of the opportunity to receive a quality education, which can have a negative impact on their future and the future of the state. Innovative solutions will help to overcome this problem now, many times faster and more efficiently,” explained Jean-Christophe Boni, founder and head of the Team4UA humanitarian foundation.
3D technology allows to erect buildings ten times faster and requires only two operators. In addition, it makes it possible to use resources more accurately and reduce the cost of materials.
“Construction 3D printers can play an important role in restoring Ukraine’s infrastructure from the consequences of a full-scale war. With their help, the restoration of homes, offices, factories, infrastructure, bridges and many other structures can be much faster than any other construction method,” said Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and general manager of the Danish company COBOD, a world leader in 3D printing in construction and a technology partner of the project.
For his part, Boni noted that Team4UA plans to set up a training center, deliver 3D printers to Ukraine, and train Ukrainian specialists to restore Ukraine’s infrastructure using the latest technologies.
