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)
