3D Printing
3D printing technology is used in specialized areas such as research development, modeling, the medical industry and in small scale production runs.
Benefits include lower costs and higher efficiency in producing highly precise prototypes.
NexCon 3D Printers take the best characteristics of 3D printing and address many of the challenges found in the construction industry. The result is the ability to print structures remotely or on-site efficiently at a lower cost with greater sustainability.
Ability to print onsite and custom designs. BB3D's state of the art construction technology is capable of printing up to 4 stories of 1,500+ square feet on each level.
With a wide variety of "ink" materials, Black Buffalo 3D's cement-based “printer ink” is formulated to withstand harsh climates, is recyclable and is stronger than a block wall.
By reducing material and labor costs, extruded exterior walls provide energy efficiency and printing affordable housing onsite cuts freight and logistics costs.

3D printing serves all domestic and overseas large-scale complex demands — while securing the iron core quality and prefabricated panel costs.
"Sustainable materials management (SMM) is a systematic approach to using and reusing materials more productively over their entire lifecycles. It represents a change in how our society thinks about the use of natural resources and environmental protection."
Mixing and printing structures to exact design specifications eliminates waste and the traditional requirement of utilizing casting molds or forms.
Reduced project timelines, lighter transportation loads and the flexibility to print buildings onsite, greatly reducing pollution and related fees.
Several configurations available providing power to select liquid fuel or electric based printers that run more efficiently than standard machinery.
Sourcing local materials to mix with our proprietary “ink” formulation can create reductions in freight, material costs and time.
