MOU Signing Ceremony CPAC x Samsung E&A

This MOU shows that both companies have shared the same vision in driving the world's sustainable construction future with new innovation and technology, particularly 3D printing technology that provides higher efficiency in production and minimizes errors by enabling the automation process from digital file generated by a computer software. This can also help to solve the skilled workforce shortage, shorten the construction period, and reduce construction waste and construction costs compared to traditional construction. The MOU also includes the research collaboration on materials science, machinery and equipment as well as the knowledge sharing about 3D printing construction and special cementitious materials. SAMSUNG E&A plans to use 350 tons of its patented 3D printing mortar, which can develop complex-designed structures with ultra-high strength, for the construction of a building in Saudi Arabia. For this project, CPAC will provide technology consultation support about 3D printing, Engineering Consultation, and Project Evaluation Support to professional services in architectural design and other aesthetic considerations.
