3D printing reduces up to 60% of construction waste, 70% of production time and up to 80 percent of labour costs when compared to hands-on construction projects, and it is companies such as world-leading, 3D printing, building and construction company, Luyten who are making this possible. Aptly titled the Platypus X12, Luyten have this month launched the world’s largest mobile 3D smart AI-powered concrete printer for the construction industry. It is the first of its kind in the southern hemisphere and the largest worldwide and is already being hailed a global success as construction firms across the world place orders to accelerate their build schedules and revolutionise delivery capabilities.
