SECRETS OF 3D PRINTED CONCRETE EXPOSED | Bold Black Buffalo 3D Shares All

Finally we are seeing companies brave enough to talk straightforwardly about the challenges of 3D printing concrete and how they can be overcome. Black Buffalo shares stories from the cutting edge of construction about their journey over the past couple months setting up their new 4 story printer in NJ and getting it operational.

We hear from Peter Cooperman about past prints, Babak Zareiyan on the extruder head and reinforcements and Benjamin Kim on the pump. It's great to see the progress and experimentation they are doing to perfect their processes. It's no secret that this technology is improving rapidly and its awesome to get such deep insights on the process. Without trying new things and being willing to take risks there is no room for improvement. For a company to find the best mix parameters they need to experiment with dozens if not hundreds of combinations to optimize performance. There is always room for improvement and I would be wary of any company that declines to admit that. Black Buffalo has the right mentality for a tech startup willing to be nimble but also ready to make substantial investments in R&D. It will be incredible to see what they accomplish in the coming months.

I cannot tell you how much it means to me to hear a modern man call cement cement and to say that it has been around for so long. Thank you so much, I can now die in peace, but I do hope that I can live long enough to see you guys make a product that really works, is affordable, beautiful and has soft acoustics. Thank you.

First this is a great channel. The information you provide is very helpful. The concrete printer industry is in the trial and error phase and it's more of any art than science but great strides are happening which make is very exciting. It reminds me of when I got involved in the personal computer industry 40 years ago. Very exciting but no standards yet. Time will tell who comes out as a leader. Thanks Jarett!

[@TheWalkOnCoach]

He made some great points about issues you run into and the research and troubleshooting that comes with this technology. Its not negative, its just real. Great interview.

[@automateconstruction]

Agreed and thank you!

[@jmz388]

Yes these type of interview gives the picture not sales promotion ... we need the printing to work so buildings get built

[@TheWalkOnCoach]

@@jmz388 thats a fact

[@code82star12]

Great Interview! thank you for making this video. Good luck to the 3D printing company wish you the best.

[@nobreighner]

Great interviews, esp the pump guy.

[@LexBuildAdventures]

Your videos are always full of great information, but often some of it is lost because of the audio quality. mostly due to reverb from the microphone distance. It would be such a great improvement if you were to get a wireless lav mic for you and the person speaking.

[@automateconstruction]

I got one, I need to figure out how it works and I’ll implement it soon.

[@tOxIc_TrEaSuRe]

the name of the game is going to be mixing multiple wet and dry materials close to the print head with fine controls, as well as what materials can be used which is a a very broad range. There is also tons of innovation potential in the area of functional design including running utilities, insulation, surface texture, integrated color, integrated waterproofing etc. The other area of competition is on portability. Having a machine that is easy to move around and set up is a massive advantage.

[@bolomantra]

Jarret, I would give all of the thumbs up but the sound is terrible in this recording. Otherwise great, very informative video that I am sure you put a lot of effort do record.

[@tragedyofwind]

typical geek talk about the technology for 3/4 of the vid, and the guy just walk away half way thru. I love geeks. they are adorable.

[@green2stayecoswdmarketingn339]

Nice, I look forward to "concrete" or binders made from recycled or discarded contents 🎯⭕🌿💚♻️🤔⚖️🌏🔬👍

[@lordmugglestone]

I keep on seeing square houses being made with this concept. I want to see a round house with round rooms in the inside. This concrete printing should be able to make this simple and beautiful building. Curves to match the natural surroundings.

[@SquishyBrained]

Icon house zero

[@FrozenHawkHunter]

So how is this going to be used? Does this have its own plant or is the concrete coming from off site? Right now it looks like you would be better of slip forming or just using a pump truck.. plus I'd rather have rebar In the concrete.

[@vedatsaruhan2832]

Great videos. Thanks a lot. İ wish you could reduce the voice of the environment. Waiting for New videos

[@automateconstruction]

Many new videos coming!

[@josuaplaatjies891]

As an African I love what you guys are doing.

Isn't cement extremely bad for the environment?

[@justnumber427]

dude, love the vids but plz for the of of god get a lapel/clipon mic. my eardrums are bleeding

[@serbanmike]

I guess 3D concrete printed house process it is Engineering (science) plus Art. I cannot tell you how much is Science and how much is Art . From what I hear from these guys it seems that there is a lot of trial and error in the process and not already tried and proven methods and rules. But probably it will come to that because there are so many variables to the equation and it is hard to solve.

[@isaacstrade9358]

does this cut back on carbon emissions cement puts out 8% I think

[@automateconstruction]

If you can decrease the amount of material used by printing instead of pouring by around 50% then the overall cement caused emissions would be lower printing.
