Planitop 3D<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is now available through MAPEI across North America. This cement-based construction ink\/mortar was specially developed through years of research, testing, and evaluation by independent and in-house material scientists at Black Buffalo 3D Corporation, MAPEI, and various 3rd party labs including Intertek based in York, PA. Held to the strictest standards and created to increase efficiency on the jobsite and throughout its lifecycle, Planitop 3D<\/em><\/strong> is designed to quickly set-up and support every layer printed above it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMAPEI has always been known for innovation and for helping communities\u00a0around the nation. The 3D-printed homes and other structures printed with Planitop 3D and Black Buffalo 3D\u2019s NEXCON printers represent technology at its most compassionate creating a more affordable housing market,\u201d remarked Luigi Di Geso, MAPEI Corporation\u2019s President and CEO. \u201cWe are proud to be involved in this evolution in construction and housing.\u201d<\/p>\n

While this is the first public announcement, materials scientists from Black Buffalo 3D and MAPEI have been hard at work for over a year fine-tuning a cement-based construction ink for the 3D construction industry. Milestones already achieved include several 13+ hour print sessions on NEXCON printers by the Black Buffalo 3D team in Elizabeth, NJ, which have been verified by members of the ICC-ES approved lab Intertek. The verification process used stringent testing to the criteria of the ICC-ES AC-509 standard for 3D printed walls. The official results and reporting are expected to be released in the upcoming months.<\/p>\n
