CYBE CONSTRUCTION WILL PRINT A FOUR-STOREY APARTMENT IN EINDHOVEN

CyBe’s three pillars — technology, process innovation, and social prosperity — work in tandem towards creating a better society. This combination of principles defines CyBe’s position in the construction industry. CyBe is a market leader in 3D concrete printing with proprietary hardware, software, and printing materials. With these tools, CyBe is pushing the boundaries and collaborating with Lab040 in Eindhoven to create the first-ever, 3D printed, four-story apartment.

Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC) is a way of constructing completed and finished units off-site for on-site installation. Using this modular construction technology, 3D units are produced in controlled factory settings with optimized construction methods and building materials. The modules can be delivered to the construction site in a variety of states — from basic structural blocks to fully finished apartments complete with amenities. The assembly process is quick and maintains the concrete’s inherent benefits such as providing fire resistance, sound absorption, and thermal mass.

New ecological and economical standard of living

CyBe creates living solutions that help people and the environment. CyBe’s maximal Energy Performance Coefficient (EPC) is 0.2. This figure translates to reduced costs in gas, water, and light — in some cases to zero. This also indicates low CO2 emissions — the process can even be oxygen positive.

A better way to construct PPVC modules

The CyBe G Gantry is a 3D concrete printer that can print within an established three-dimensional zone. It can be set up on-site, but it is best suited for printing large modules, such as finished apartments, in an off-site factory setting. This system is a stable setup of four columns and three beams and is ideal for PPVC construction. The Gantry’s fast and large-scale capabilities make it ideal for printing multi-unit, multi-story buildings with PPVC. Printing off-site with the Gantry system, modular PPVC units can be continuously printed in the factory and then transported and connected on-site.

With this process, installation activities are moved off-site, creating a better factory environment with reduced dust and noise pollution. The on-site assembly process is also simplified with PPVC, requiring less manpower and resulting in a safer construction environment.

Experience in the construction industry

CyBe is the legacy of Hendriks Construction, a 100-year-old industry leader. Led by Berry Hendriks, CyBe’s cutting-edge 3D printing approach to construction warranted its own professional incorporation and in 2013, CyBe and CyBe Construction were established. Shortly after, the first 3D concrete printing hardware, software, and materials were developed for industrial use. Both Hendriks and CyBe Construction share a vision for an improved society — this vision is in the DNA of the CyBe organization. For CyBe, this means enabling companies to build faster with less resources, producing affordable, sustainable, and ecologically durable constructions.
