3D printing technology revolutionizes the construction industry and enables faster construction methods that reduce labor costs and material waste-lower and the first 3D printed Starbucks in Brownsville, Texas. This structure has been located since the end of 2024 and this Starbucks location is now set and ready to serve coffee, whereby the focus is on fulfilling orders via pickup and drive-thhru.
The project was headed by the German company Peri 3D Construction, which was also responsible for the creation of Europe's largest 3D-printed building and installed the COBOD BOD2 printer on site. The machine followed a prefabricated blueprint and extruded a cement -like mix to build up the 1,400 square meter structure by layer, which led to a uniquely structured finish.
