German Construction Company Uses 3D Printing Division for Headquarters

Matthäi Schlüsselfertigbau, a subsidiary of the German construction company Matthäi, has established its own construction 3D-printing division.

The decision followed the successful completion of the company’s new two-story headquarters in Selsingen, Lower Saxony, (Germany) printed with a COBOD BOD2 construction 3D printer and occupied in summer 2026. PERI 3D Construction acted as technology partner and supervisor during the printing phase, in collaboration with architects Schulenburg and planning firm Mense-Korte. What began as a single-printed building has become part of the company’s regular business.

Walls of both floors of the headquarters were printed in about 105 hours using Holcim’s TectorPrint material, with the building’s form produced directly from the digital model. The building measures around 24-feet high, 74-feet long and 44-feet deep, printed across two full stories. It provides 3,920 square feet of usable space, with 1,830 square feet on the ground floor and 2,090 square feet on the first floor. The walls of the ground floor and upper floor together took about 105 hours of printing time using Holcim’s TectorPrint, a printable cementitious material.

The foundation, base slab, floors and roof were built using conventional methods.
