Visiting Apis Cor's 3D concrete printing Showroom! 

Belinda, you’re the best! I love every video you make

Thankyou, always like to keep abreast on what's happening.

This is an outstanding upgrade on the sausage extruders with remarkably minimal added hardware. Obviously the small form factor helps a lot on setup and versatility. They could improve the radius by 2-3ft by pivoting the extruder headworks while reverse pivoting the nozzle.

this is the best overall concept I have seen so far

Absolutely impressed. Thanks Belinda!

Great product and an excellent presentation, thank you

NEXT UP, lets see this thing in action maybe even a couple of projects if possible? Maybe could be a playlisted series on this subject on its own without a fixed rate of content just a drop-in when available while other regular topics are happening on the channel

Pretty nice, and square corners too.

When we eventually have settlements on the Moon or Mars... I believe 3D printers would just about have to be used. Right now are there ways to use the surrounding land at the job site to process into the printing material? That is you go into a very remote job site and dig up dirt, clay, process it, add what ever.. then use that material to print the structure?

This is a great sampling of the possibilities!

I really like the concept of printed homes and appreciate your continued coverage of this type of ingenuity

Amazing! Thank you for sharing! Have a great day!

This is a very interesting technology thank you for sharing it and I would be interested to know how they withstand hurricanes earthquakes and in Northern climates Frost in the ground into the walls if there will stand it as well as a concrete block building

Just found your channel. Excellent shows I'm expanding my construction knowledge greatly thanks to you.

Pumicecrete is by far the best building material on the planet Pumicecrete is a mixture of pumice cement and water mixed and poured into a set of reusable forms walls are poured from 12"to 24" thick pumicecrete is fireproof termite proof rust rot and mold proof and has a high R value and good sound attenuation solid poured walls means no critters can live in your walls Pumicecrete can be built for a fraction of the cost and time

Built with practicality, logistics, and safety first and foremost. Man after my own heart.

Excellent job

That is super neat

I like it, but I'd have to see a timelapse of it building a structure.

This printer is a huge improvement. Rounded corners are structurally and visually great.. also expensive. If it could print designs on walls as well, such as corbels, I see huge potential.

Eliminating the gantry structure and going to a square nozzle are game changers. Swap out that paintbrush and replace it with some plastic like a cake frosting knife and with a little trowel work before it completely dries it might be ready for the airless sprayer. Love this technology.

Thanks for sharing on this, knew things were changing in this space, but hadn't seen anything on this one before and like the squared off piece they do there!

very interesting and inspiring new technology. thanks for showing us Frank from Apis Cor :)

For some reason that thing reminds me of the laser from Howard the Duck. Also... niiiice.

This is super cool! My fellow Texan you need to print some campaign signs to run for congress! Texas needs you and the squad could use another member! You have the progressive attitude, quick wit, no nonsense "git 'er" done type persona and the perfect platform to launch. There's a reason folk gravitate to you and in today's political climate ... it takes strong women of color like you who are unapologetic while standing their ground and make a coalition to change the world! 👏🏼You got my vote 🗳

Excellent 👍

This technology is amazing! I hope they'll make it more affordable, eventually.

I did not realize I was robot. :) Cool video.

"Safety is not accident"

Interesting video, Belinda. Thanks. I wonder about the coarse texture of the crete. Seeing videos of families with unpainted walls, it seems that kids would constantly be losing lots of skin to them. Is there a smoothing process done to them before residency? (other than the smoothing spatula) Personally, I don't find the gray concrete walls pleasant at all and would paint them. Also, very smooth walls are much, much easier to clean. I'll have to check out more of the vids in your Frank Mix.

great video! :) could you try putting the links that you mention in the video into the description?

How many years before this kind of construction is affordable for the middle class?

nice very nice! Was this exhibited at the last world of concrete expo?

I really do like the clean lines of the walls and if you do touch on the subject again I'd like to see a comparison between stick built homes and having it done this way thanks again for all your work

I’m just curious to know how this application works with/around rebar? Seeing as rebar is used in concrete and masonry wall construction.

Can you make a video on a barndominium?

As an investor I love it, as an electrician I hate it lol

How do they deal with thermal bridging and moisture passing through?

is it strong enough to deal with earth movement? the lack of reinforcement makes me question. and if reinforcement is already in the concrete mix whats the life of the nosles? will they need replacing mid job with the extra abrasiveness for the fiberglass or whatever reinforcement? this obviously needs a special concrete mix to work right, is it mixed on the mechiene right before placement? might end up getting a lot of rejected concrete its its not. how long does the pump last if its moving such viscous stuff? do the walls have to be curved for strength? curved walls are cool, but the stuff in buildings is still mostly rectangles. interrupted prints, if the mechiene gets bumped or moved is there a procedure to realign it seamlessly with the previously printed bits or are you just SOL and have to scrape it off and start again. the alignment ting might be a problem if you need something to be load bearing that's outside he range of the machine where movements are required. are the finished walls thin enough for wifi to make it through? can you just feed it any design or do you have to pay attention to the cardboard wobble inner bit? also rust sencor? A does it rust so quickly that the process of rusting during a job will make it fall apart? B or does it rust normally and its just so sensitive to minute changes that it will fail the print because rust built up as it was printing? will wind make it fail too if its that temperamental that it needs a rust sensor? if the computer does deem it too rusty whats the fix? cut the wires to the rust sencor and keep going. I've seen some old buildings where stucco was adhered straight to concrete and it did not age well, idk what exactly the issue was but it looked like water issues making it flake off wired because the back of it wasint open to dry correctly or something, they ended up haveing to strip it off and paint the lumpy concrete which ya know peeled, making stuff stick to concrete long term is tricky. 3d printed affordable housing just sounds like the most buzzwords smashed together as possible so I'm naturally skeptical, next you are gonna tell me how drones and vr are somehow involved. less gimic does it actually work?

OK, Im already a fan of 3D printing of construction but I have questions about this latest printer. Crane lifting points? does it have any and if not, it should. Can it print alkaline concrete or fly ash concrete? The HMI or human machine interface, what options does it have? What are the 3D modeling softwares , are they proprietary or open source modeling softwares? can the machine be rented, how much? I can see this thing being painted green and rented by Sunbelt so if it can't, it should be rented, guarantee it will pay off in the long run for the company.

When will APIS-COR open back up again? The Chamber of Commerce has told me that they have Closed the Doors for doing Business in the Avenue View is this correct?

It's getting more difficult to decide between ICF/CMU/3D/SIP, etc. The labor savings promised by Apis-Cor could heavily sway that evaluation.

Hi, what the price Frank? Where can i see its specs? Do you have an office in New York?

Please review Mike Oehler's $50 & Up Underground House Book

Not sure that they are more than 10 3D houses nationwide, walls are just 5% of the total cost, 3D printing (plastic or grout (concrete contain gravel)) is still a pipe dream.

Hi Belinda, would you happen to have a telephone number for apis cor, I can't seem to find it on their website.

Здравствуйте можноли купит такой принтер, если можно то от куда помогите пожалуйста

Awesome video once again but I have to request. Could you do a video on the housing crisis? Prices and rents are skyrocketing and it's not just inflation. Is there anything we can do? I know it's a really big topic but I'd like to hear your take on it. I trust you more than anyone else to tell the truth talking about housing.

I feel like 3d printing has so much potential and all the possible things that could be done just don't come fast enough

Smell it

I don't know why but for some reason, I really want to hold onto the optimism of 3D printed homes or construction pieces. Of course, it's far from perfect or standardized use but I always love to look at completed projects.

All these videos and I've YET to hear the WHY. Are concrete printed houses greener? No. Cheaper? No. More compact? No. Better looking? Earthships made with old tires are better looking. I guess they WILL destroy construction worker jobs. Oh, and ensure only large corporations that can afford the capital costs are building our homes. What could go wrong?

Why would they entertain this negative person. Who is dead against 3d printing ane calls it a hype instead of appreciating technology.
