Florida-based 3D printing construction startup Printed Farms has announced the completion of a structure it claims is the world’s largest 3D printed building — a "luxury horse barn." The company is known for completing Florida’s first permitted 3D printed house in Tallahassee. It used Danish 3D printer producer COBOD’s BOD2 construction 3D printer for the undertaking.

Located in the southern Florida city of Wellington, the barn spans 10,105 square feet with a height of 13 feet. It has a total length of 155 feet and a width of 83 feet. The structure was constructed to withstand extreme local weather conditions, including hurricanes and tropical storms. Its 3D printed walls serve to create a cavity and air gap, which aims to provide natural cooling to the building. The construction process involved five moves of the printer, with the two sides completed twice and the middle section executed once. 

"Printed Farms has done a remarkable job in completing this massive structure and the project demonstrates again how 3D printing is transforming the construction industry for the better," said COBOD Co-founder and Head of Americas, Philip Lund-Nielsen. "COBOD is proud to be technology supplier to yet another record-breaking 3D printing project on U.S. soil which comes only shortly after the completion of the U.S.’ first 2-story 3D printed building in Texas, also using our BOD2 3D printer."

COBOD’s list of record-breaking 3D printed buildings constructed with its technology continues to grow, with printers that have produced the tallest, fastest, and now the largest 3D printed buildings in the world.
