About
About COBOD
COBOD connects the construction printer with a material-supply process suited to the building site. Its systems work with locally sourced concrete and aggregates, with supply coming either from ready-mix trucks or batching on site. That arrangement allows the printer’s operation to be planned around local concrete production and delivery.
The company offers different printer layouts for individual buildings, repeated structures and larger construction projects. Software and setup support connect the building design to the printing process, while operational assistance helps customers introduce the equipment on site. The resulting offering combines the moving printer structure, material handling and the preparation needed to turn a digital building plan into successive concrete layers.

Notes
Profile notes
- COBOD supplies construction printers but does not usually act as the building contractor
reviewed 2026-07-19 - COBOD manufactures and supports large-format construction printers used by builders, developers, universities and material partners. The buildings printed with those systems are generally delivered by customers or regional partners.
