What Are 3 Advantanges Building with NSC3D over other 3D print companies?

1)We can 3D print while its raining, snowing, and during mild winds. Other 3D print companies struggle in adverse whether because it produces poor print quality (cracks & uneven printing). We deliver reliable continuous printing in adverse weather conditions. This enables us to keep projects on schedule which equal cost savings. 2) We utilize versitle printing technology enabling us to print in small hard to reach areas and do not requrie the printer to be continuosly moved or repositioned several times. This again saves time and equal cost savings. 3) Our gantry system can print entire structures continuously, non-stop which again equal cost savings.

How Strong are 3D Printed Structures?

NSC 3D printed structures are exceptionally strong. We use standard concrete mixes (sand, cement, and lime) rather than requiring special or proprietary blends, which can significantly increase costs. However, specially formulated mixtures with additives like super-plasticizers and fibers are also used in our mixes to improve printability and strength. Our system integrates standard rebar reinforcement by creating 3D printed hollow walls which are then filled with more concrete around the rebar for structural integrity. The combination of 3D printing and rebar reinforcement significantly increases the overall strength and durability of the printed concrete structures.

How long does it take to 3D print a 2000 sq ft house?

Results have shown when 3D printing a small house, it can take as long as 24 hours, but larger projects will take days and even months. It's important to note that once the printing is done, extra time is needed for plumbing, electrical work, and other final touches – these essentials combined depends on manpower, workflow and efficiency. However, compared to traditional construction methods, our 3D concrete printing projects have proven to reduce building project completion time by 50% or more.

Results of resilience measurements suggest that well built 3D concrete printed homes could last for approximately 50–300 years.

What Are Major Benefits of 3D Concrete Printing?

1) Well built 3D printed structures can withstand disasters like earthquakes, high category hurricanes. tornados, fires, floods, and are resistant to mold. 2) Significant savings on Cost & Schedule time. The 3D printing method eliminates the need for forming, layout, framing, stucco and drywall. 3) Build projects upto 70% Less and upto 70% faster. 4) More design flexibility which allows complex and customized designs to be created which were once previously unable to do. Reduces labor: This technology replaces several traditional construction trades. 5) Potential for affordable housing, ADU's and Mini-homes; 6)Thermal Properties: 3D printed homes can be designed with superior insulation, improving their thermal properties. Better insulation means reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling, leading to lower utility bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

NSC 3D Past Experience

We have worked extensively for over 2 decades as a prime and general contractor for Department of Defense, Army Corp of Engineers and FEMA.

We Aim To Be Trusted Innovative Partners

We believe in honesty, craftsmanship, and accountability in every project that we build. We go beyond 3D printing to make a difference. Our Goals & Values are to Act With Integrity, Become Problem Solvers and Create Possibilities and offer a significantly more cost effective way.
