COBOD has successfully fabricated the first 3D-printed building in Guatemala. This organically shaped house spanning 49 m2 (527-square-feet) was made in just 26 hours over 7 days, combining modern construction techniques with the traditional rancho-style roof made from palm leaves that is ideal for seismic regions.
Featuring three-meter (nine-feet) tall 3D printed walls made with COBOD International’s BOD2 construction 3D printer. This is currently the best-selling 3D construction printer in the world, and widely used in the US, Canada as well as various Latin American countries, including Mexico.

The completion of Guatemala’s first 3D printed house living up to all seismic requirements marks a significant milestone for construction 3D printing in Latin America. The region has adopted 3D construction printing slower than others, but the interest is growing rapidly. We expect interesting new developments to happen shortly, including in Mexico, especially now that successful steps have been taken to verify the suitability of the printing technology in a seismic region,” said Philip Lund-Nielsen, Co-Founder and Head of Americas of COBOD.
