Client: Printed Farms
Location: Wellington, FL
Project Type: Commercial / Columns / Architectural Elements
Timeline: 3 Days Printing / 2 Day to Install (by Contractor)
The Challenge
Building a 10,600-square foot horse stable is a massive undertaking under normal circumstances. Doing it with novel technology and a tight deadline, raises the stakes exponentially. The vision for this project was to create the world’s first 3D printed luxury equestrian facility. The structure required 30 massive support columns to hold up the sprawling roof of the barns and stables. The construction schedule was aggressive; traditional casting methods would have taken weeks to build molds, pour, cure, and strip. The project needed a solution that was not only structurally sound but incredibly fast.
The Solution
In a remarkable collaboration with Printed Farms, Printera took on the manufacturing of the structural columns. We leveraged the full speed and continuous capability of our robotic systems to meet an unprecedented timeline. Output of 30 full scale structural columns within a timeline of two weeks. We shipped the columns to the site ready for immediate installation, bypassing the slow, labor-intensive process of on-site formwork. Once installed, the columns were finished with a meticulous paint application that protected the surface while preserving the “Natural Layered” texture, a visual testament to the technology that created them.
The Outcome
This equestrian farm now stands as a pioneering achievement in construction innovation. It is the first of its kind, proving that 3D concrete printing is ready for large scale commercial and agricultural applications. The seamless fusion of the natural printed layers with the finished architecture creates a visually stunning aesthetic that is both modern and rugged. By delivering critical structural components in record time, Printera helped set a new benchmark for what is possible in the future of building.
