RIC Technology debuts robotic 3D printer that can print up to 3 stories high

RIC Innovation recently debuted its most sophisticated and biggest building robot 3D printer, called RIC-PRIMUS. With the ability to publish three-story frameworks as much as 32 ft. high, RIC-PRIMUS increases upon the advancements of its precursor, RIC-M1 PRO.

” RIC-PRIMUS is a huge advance for the 3D building market towards actual commercialization,” claimed Ziyou Xu, owner of RIC Innovation and principal engineer of the Robot Building Program. “Its increased printing capability makes it feasible to develop larger-scale building much faster and more affordable, opening brand-new opportunities for 3D printing in both domestic and industrial jobs.”

In 2024, the business’s previous design, run by Alquist 3D, published an 8,000-sq.- ft. (743.2 sq. m), 20-ft. (6 m) high Walmart expansion. Walmart has actually prepared one more 200 jobs making use of RIC’s robotics, which are anticipated to start building in February 2025. RIC Innovation claimed it intends to satisfy the expanding need for much faster, economical, and lasting building systems.

The Fontana, Calif.-based business concentrates on robot building making use of 3D printing. RIC claimed its exclusive modern technology can considerably minimize expense, time, and labor while improving efficiency. The business’s collection of solutions consists of robot 3D printing, building layout, customized product options, and professional training and assistance.

RIC-PRIMUS gets to brand-new 3D printing elevations

RIC-PRIMUS flaunts a printing elevation of 32 ft. (9.7 m), an 85.4-ft. (26 m) printing size, and a 36.1-ft. (11 m) printing size. This is virtually dual the measurements of its precursor, RIC-M1 PRO. This dimension makes it possible for the robotic to build three-story domestic structures and wall surface systems, pressing the borders of 3D building for both domestic and industrial jobs, claimed RIC Innovation.

On top of that, the updated system includes boosted movement and rate. A 200 mm/s (7.8 in./ sec.) publishing rate and 8 levels of flexibility enable the robotic to publish around rebars and versus existing structures or wall surfaces.

Like RIC-M1 PRO, RIC-PRIMUS includes a portable and modular layout, needing no setting up and ending up being functional within 2 to 4 hours. The automation decreases the requirement for knowledgeable labor from 3 drivers to 2, better boosting effectiveness and expense financial savings, RIC asserted.

RIC Innovation collaborates with numerous products, companions

RIC-PRIMUS consists of an incorporated self-loading ⅜ accumulation mixer pump that is versatile to most industry-standard mixer pumps. This enables it to publish with both concrete and mortar from many worldly suppliers. The business claimed this adaptability in products makes it possible for large, long lasting architectural builds while preserving the accuracy required for smaller sized, thorough jobs.

RIC Innovation likewise kept in mind that RIC-PRIMUS is furnished with a real-time product quality assurance system to decrease human mistake, enhance printing precision, and guarantee regular architectural stability.

In cooperation with Alquist 3D, Concrete Masons & Plasterers Citizen Union 528, and SKAPA, RIC Innovation’s robotics will certainly live-print architectural wall surface sectors at Globe of Concrete (WOC) 2025 making use of 3D product offered by Spec-Mix.

This will certainly use guests a direct take a look at RIC’s newest robot building advancements. The occasion for the concrete and stonework building markets will certainly be from Jan. 21 to 23, 2025, at the Las Las Vega Convention Facility.
