In Texas, a Starbucks coffee shop is preparing to open; its walls were built using a construction 3D printer from the Danish company COBOD. The building, which covers an area of 130 square meters, was constructed without a guest hall — it’s intended solely to serve motorists. The German construction company Peri, one of COBOD’s investors, acted as the project’s contractor. But the most interesting thing here is not the architecture, but the hidden economic meaning.

Starbucks, which has about 17,000 locations in the United States alone, may well consider additive construction as a way to automate the process and save on building new outlets. 3D printing makes it possible to build walls in a matter of weeks, not months.

This project is clear proof that 3D printing seamlessly integrates into any field: from the aerospace industry and energy sector to the restaurant business and retail trade. The technology makes it possible to build structures while reducing dependence on the human factor and significantly speeding up the process.
