3DCP Group rebuilds Ukrainian kindergarten with 3D printing

“We immediately said yes to the task, as it is a very good opportunity to demonstrate the technology’s potential, which is well suited to construction in general and especially to rebuilding after disasters, as you can erect high-quality buildings in record time and thus build cities in months rather than years. But above all, it is a good-karma project, where we have the opportunity to make a positive difference for a people and a country in need,” says Mikkel Brich, one of the founders of 3DCP Group.

3DCP Group is a two-year-old association of engineers, construction technicians, architects and printing experts who want to build better, faster, cheaper and greener homes using 3D-printing technology.

At Danish AM Hub, the focus is precisely on making Denmark a world leader in the use of Additive Manufacturing (AM) – also known as industrial 3D printing – for more sustainable production, where less material is used, there is less waste, less transport, and lower CO2 emissions. The latter is particularly important, as the construction industry today accounts for 40 percent of global emissions. Therefore, Danish AM Hub also supports the project and contributes both financial support and advisory services.

“First and foremost, we are proud that Danish expertise is being put to use in a necessary and important humanitarian effort for the Ukrainian people, and especially for Ukrainian children’s living conditions and everyday life,” says Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, CEO of Dansk AM Hub:

“And here, AM technology offers flexibility, speed and the opportunity to build more sustainably, which is highly relevant to the situation Ukraine is facing. In Denmark, we have a strong position when it comes to putting our small green nation on the world map with sustainable construction, and at home we should be proud that people abroad look to us in precisely these situations.”
