PLATYPUS 3D CONCRETE PRINTER
ROBUST 3D CONSTRUCTION PRINTING SYSTEM
MOBILE ROBOTIC SYSTEM
PLATYPUS PRINTER
THE FOURTH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
ADVANCED HOME CONSTRUCTION
The PLATYPUS 3D Concrete Printer is at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution. Complete for reliable and quality results in projects that are both large and small. Powered with an advanced software package and the TURISOPS proprietary extruding mechanism, this printer can construct profiles with complex geometries of up to 1 metre in height and width, including unlimited length. With unlimited length, the PLATYPUS printer is able to print large structural components for vast possibilities in design.
This enables emerging architects to validate challenging concepts. It will also enable small and large builders to optimise their operation and have an edge to compete for more geometrically demanding projects while remaining financially feasible. PLATYPUS... levels the playing field.
