MaxiPrinter

Fast, Mobile, Compact

Geopolymer International’s sister company, Sustainable Construction Solutions, is proud to announce its exclusive North American distributorship of the MaxiPrinter. Our strategic partnership with Constructions-3D leverages the MaxiPrinter’s advanced capabilities, combining it with Geopolymer International’s expertise in geopolymer chemistry, to deliver unparalleled construction solutions

MaxiPrinter Features

fast

  • MaxiPrinter Deployment: 5 minutes, one person + installation of hoses, pump, and connections: 25 minutes, 2 people
  • Calibration (printing file to Gcode): 10-30 minutes
  • Printing Speed: Up to 200 mm/s, typical: 100-150 mm/s
  • Cleaning: 30 minutes, two people

mobile

  • Movement on tracks at 2 km/h
  • Lightweight: 2.8 tons
  • Ability to print from one position, fold up, move, unfold and print at a second position -> infinite printing area
  • Small turning radius, almost rotates in place

compact

  • Fits through a door after printing is completed. Elevator, container.. fits in a staircase hopper to be carried onto the upper slab and print the next floor
  • A single 20-foot container (compact, easy to transport, project)
  • Width: 850 mm
  • Length: 3010 mm
  • Height: 1990 mm

Precise

  • Accuracy within 1 cm
  • Repeatability level of 1 mm (precision errors are the same for subsequent layers)
  • 3D printed nozzle, possibility of infinite nozzle shapes, rectangular, round, etc., the nozzle can be rotating or not
  • Path correction every 33 ms
  • Unlimited control: mastery of material consistency and printing speed in real time

Economical

  • No crane needed
  • No gantry to install
  • No formwork
  • No console
  • Savings on insulation costs (no need to install rails + fiberglass.. create a cavity and spray the bulk insulation
  • Savings on the volume of concrete that makes up the wall. Example: 30 cm wall 3D printed (cord thickness: 6 cm): reduces the amount of concrete by 60% compared to a solid 30 cm wall (calculation: 0.0620.88+0.06*0.3=0.12 <- 3D printed wall, 0.3 <- solid wall… 0.3 – 60% = 0.12 m^3)
  • 1 pilot/operator + 1-2 people

All Terrain

  • Outdoor/Indoor Sites
  • Installation in hard-to-access environments (drivable ground)
  • Printing directly on the ground
  • Robust and solid, withstands the demands of the most challenging sites
  • Maneuverable in confined spaces (reduced turning radius thanks to tracks)
  • Can move on tracks on a maximum slope of 15°
  • Printing possible on uneven terrain with legs not at the same level -> the chassis adapts and is perfectly level despite the terrain

Controllable

  • More than twenty sensors visible on the control interface -> Material pressure, temperature, humidity, oil temperature, layer time, water flow… -> useful for maintenance and post-print feedback -> can act accordingly: e.g., if material pressure is too high, increase the water amount in the material
  • Presence of a camera to monitor the progress of the print
  • Ability to configure alerts (checkpoints) during printing
  • Calibration assistant for files with an intelligent system for capturing known points on the slab
  • Perfect connectivity with the pump, interactions with it from the control screen
  • Track the progress of the print, remaining time, amount of material used, etc.
  • Ability to pause, stop printing and resume the next day where it stopped
  • Presence of portable emergency stops + many others, especially on the control screen, on the nozzle head, etc. -> very safe machine
  • Dedicated slicer perfectly adapted to our machines
  • Our software evolves and the version is updated for free and for life
  • Efficient remote customer service (Machine connected for updates and maintenance)
