How We Stand Out
At NSC3D, our strategy is defined by speed, performance, and the pursuit of "the impossible. "For over 35 years, our Core leadership team has set the standard as master craftsmen within the Design & Build and Construction Industry. Our founding team members are rooted in such deep technical expertise that our owners are frequently called upon as expert witnesses in complex construction litigation cases. What sets us apart isn't just using advanced technology—it’s our ability to leverage it in unconventional ways. By bridging the gap between digital design and concrete reality, we deliver:
- Reduced Overhead: Drastic reduction in rework and material waste.
- Increased Velocity: Rapid deployment without sacrificing structural integrity.
- Proven Performance: A 35-year track record supporting the Department of Defense (DoD) and Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA on critical global construction missions.
From global disaster relief to complex industrial builds, we combine decades of field-tested wisdom with next-generation software to create limitless possibilities.
Rock Solid & Lighting Fast
Adding boulders to structural designs is no BIG deal for us at NSC3D.
While 3D printing is In-process we integrate the installation of MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and window frames, which allows for high-precision fitting and faster project completion. Our proprietary method constructs high-strength, 3D-printed hollow walls that are reinforced with standard rebar and filled with high-performance concrete, and a secure roof ensuring exceptional structural durability. Our hybrid approach significantly increases the tensile strength and shear resistance of the structure. As a result, our 3D-printed structures offer superior resistance against extreme weather conditions, including: tornedos, hurricanes, fires, floods even mold.

Frequently Asked Questions

3D construction printing is an innovative building method that uses large-scale 3D printers to create structures layer by layer. This technology allows for faster construction times, reduced material waste, and the ability to create complex architectural designs that would be difficult or impossible with traditional methods.
Construction time varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. However, 3D printing can reduce construction time by up to 50-70% compared to traditional methods. A small residential structure can be printed in as little as 24-48 hours, while larger commercial projects may take several weeks.
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. Important to note that while NSC3D in in the process of printing homes/structures, at the same time also installs plumbing, electrical work, etc. so that no extra time is needed to install these essential final touches. Furthermore, compared to traditional construction methods, NSC3D concrete printing projects have proven to reduce building project completion time by at least 50% or more.
Yes, 3D printed structures meet or exceed traditional building standards. Our specialized concrete mixtures are engineered for superior strength and durability. All our projects comply with local building codes and undergo rigorous testing to ensure structural integrity and safety.
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.
Results of resilience measurements suggest that well built 3D concrete printed structures could exist for approximately 50–300 years.
3D concrete printing can reduce overall project costs by at least 50% through reduced labor requirements, minimized material waste, faster construction times, and lower transportation costs. The precision of 3D printing also means fewer errors and less rework, further reducing expenses.
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.
NSC3D experience extends from global disaster relief to complex industrial builds. Our leadership at NSC3D have been more than just builders—they are master craftsmen and construction industry experts. They have been trusted for multiple expert witness construction testifiers in court cases due to their keen knowledge in construction. Decades of experience as Prime and General Contractors for the Army Corps of Engineers, DoD, and FEMA working on disaster relief efforts.
NSC3D has combined decades of field-tested wisdom with next-generation software to create limitless possibilities.
3D construction printing is significantly more sustainable than traditional methods. It reduces material waste by up to 60%, lowers carbon emissions through optimized material usage, and can incorporate recycled materials. The precision of 3D printing means we only use exactly what's needed.
We handle a wide range of projects including residential homes, commercial buildings, affordable housing developments, emergency shelters, and custom architectural structures. Our technology is versatile and can be adapted to meet various design requirements and project scales.
One of the major advantages of 3D printing is the ability to create highly customized designs without additional costs. We work closely with clients to bring their unique visions to life, whether it's curved walls, intricate patterns, or unconventional shapes that would be expensive with traditional construction.
We don't just build; we innovate and have the capabilities to solve the most diverse construction challenges within the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.
