Formwork and scaffolding manufacturing firm Peri is building what it claims is the largest 3D-printed apartment building in Europe.

Peri is using the gantry printer BOD2, in a process expected to take six weeks. The printer has a print head that moves about three axes on a securely installed metallic frame. The printer can move along its frame to any position within the construction and only needs to be calibrated once: this saves time and cuts costs, Peri said.
