A 3D printed house is a home built by a large construction 3D printer that extrudes concrete layer by layer from a digital design, forming the walls and structural shell. It’s built faster and with less labor and waste than traditional construction.
The printed structural shell of a small home (around 50 m²) can be completed in roughly a day of active printing with a machine like the COBOD BOD2. Full completion — roofing, windows, utilities, and finishes — takes additional time using conventional trades, but total project timelines are still much shorter than traditional builds.
It depends on the home’s size and design and on the printer configuration. The construction 3D printer is a capital investment quoted per configuration, but because COBOD systems use standard local concrete, the per-house material cost can be substantially lower than conventional methods.

Yes. There’s no dedicated 3D-printing building code yet, so projects are approved individually and must comply with the National Building Code (PD 1096) and the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP), with sign-off from a licensed structural engineer.
Yes, when properly engineered. Printed concrete homes are strong and long-lasting and must be designed to withstand earthquakes and typhoons under the NSCP, giving them a service life comparable to traditional houses.
A specially formulated concrete mix. COBOD printers use standard, locally sourced concrete with no proprietary material required, which keeps material costs and lead times down in the Philippines.
Yes. OmniFab is the local distributor for COBOD construction 3D printers — the BOD2 and BOD3 — with consultation, installation guidance, and after-sales support.
A well-engineered and properly finished 3D printed concrete house can last several decades — comparable to traditional concrete construction — depending on materials, design, and maintenance.
