Print your next building - construction technology

DE PERE, Wis. - June 12, 2018 - Rezul -- Smet Construction embraces the inevitable changes in construction technology
It's only a matter of time. While there is currently not a Green Bay building contractor utilizing 3D printing methods, that will likely change in coming years. Smet Construction Services, Inc. understands that continuing advances in construction technology such as LSAM (Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing) technology are bound to impact the construction industry everywhere.

At the heart of LSAM is concrete extrusion technology, a method of producing physical objects layer by layer from a computer-aided machine guided by digital 3D models. A specially formulated concrete mix allows the process to be fast and the structure to be strong and energy efficient.

Perhaps the most powerful impact of this technology will be for the 1.2 billion people who live without adequate shelter in the world. Already there are plans to build 10,000 homes in El Salvador at a cost of about $4,000 per home.


But how will construction in northeastern Wisconsin most likely be affected by LSAM?

"Already we are seeing the advent of automated milling and the prefabrication of framed components for construction projects. Extrusion construction technology will simply add another process into the equation," says Scott Smet, President and CEO of Smet Construction Services, Inc. "It may be that rather than replacing traditional construction, 3D printing will be used to make specific components off-site and on-site."

Certainly, education and training will need to keep pace with new construction technology. Tomorrow's architects and engineers will need to master 3D digital programming skills. Likewise, carpenters and skilled laborers will need to learn to co-work with automated technology.

Smet says that while his company will always embrace technology, it will continue to rely most heavily on its greatest commodity: talented people. "Automated construction technology may provide greater efficiency, but you will always need skilled people for successful projects."
