3D-Printed Concrete Farm Stand

We recently 3D-printed the footings and walls for a 10 ft x 20 ft (3.0 meters x 6.1 meters) farm stand, at the entrance of a farm for them to sell their products.

This is the front view of the farm stand. The design incorporates a basket-weave wall style, with a 3D-printed floor inlay, cashier counter, and reinforced pilaster columns.

The photos below show the 3d-printed concrete process completed by StrongPrint 3D.  The farm owner put on a roof, ran power & water, and installed a door, fridge, shelving, etc.

The forms for the footings being 3D printed:

The walls partially completed.  Notice the hollow pilaster columns which will be reinforced and filled with concrete:

The final step in the concrete construction was to add the rebar and infill concrete to the four pilasters (hollow columns) to make them structural. In addition, threaded rods were placed in them to allow attachment of the roof beams.

Lastly the roof was added.
