3D Construction Wall Printing Calculator Loading...This formula will calculate the cost, time and material usage for a 3D construction wall project, based on 12 input factors. Make your input in local currency and your cost will be displayed in local currency. Please fill out all the yellow input fields, and find the results in the grey fields. NB. All calculations are based on exterior walls being double-sided, and all interior walls being single sided (illustrated below). BUILDING SPECIFICSTotal m2 of exterior wall *The length of each wall times the height, all exterior wallsNumber of exterior walls *Depending on wall design, it can be 1-4Total area of exterior walls (m2)m2Total m2 of interior wall *The length of each wall times the height, all interior wallsNumber of interior walls *Depending on wall design, it can be 1-4Total area of interior walls (m2)m2PRINT LAYER AND SPEED PARAMETERSWall thickness (cm) *The width of each print layer (5 cm is recommended)Layer height (cm) *The height of each print layer (2 cm is recommended)Print speed (cm/s) *30 cm/s is recommended. (Min 10 cm/s, printer can do max 100 cm/s, but materials for such speed will be a challenge)Material printed per hour (m3/h)ECONOMIC INPUTPrice of material per m3 *The price of 3D concrete is typically the price of normal concrete +20%Number of operators *We recommend 2 operators, but it can be done with 1Hourly rate for printer operators (local currency) *Will vary considerably from country to countrySETUP TIME AND RISC FACTORSafety factor (percentage, %) *Example: 50% increases number of print hours by 50% - let it reflect the amount of experience you have with 3D construction printingSetup time of printer on site (hours) *First time setup will require 8 hoursTake down time of printer on site (hours) *First time take down will require 4 hoursNo. of workers involved in setup/take down *2 workers is recommendedTOTAL COST, TIME AND MATERIAL NEEDEDTotal m2 of walls (m2)Total m2 of walls to be printed (m2)(Including double sided exterior walls)Total material use (m3)Hours of print time - theoretical (hours)Hours of print time needed - including safety factor (hours)7 hours of printing = 1 hour of preperationTotal operator hours for printing (hours)incl. preparationTotal operation hours for project (hours)incl. setup and take down timeTotal cost of operatorslocal currencyTotal cost per m2 of walllocal currencyTotal cost of concretelocal currencyTotal cost of projectlocal currencySafetey factor subcalchoursLet us send you a PDF with your numbersYour name *Your email *I agree to let 3D Printhuset contact me via email * Yes * Required
