Luyten 3d is an Australian, Melbourne based, robotics and 3D printers manufacturing company, that designs and manufactures AI mobile 3D printers and 3D printing mix for the building and construction industry.[1][2]
History
[edit]Luyten 3D was founded in 2020, by Ahmed Mahil, Godfrey Keung, Michael Stanley, and Shaun Heap.[3]
In 2021, Luyten 3D, in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (UNSW) designed and built the 3D-printed house called the ‘Heptapod’ in Melbourne, Australia, compliant with Australia and New Zealand building code (AS/NSZ 1170).[4][2]
In 2022, Luyten 3D collaborated with UNSW to develop a 3D printer and 3D printing mix to print lunar accommodations on the moon.[5][6]
In 2023, Luyten 3D and UNSW received an Australian federal government $2.9 million CRC-P grant for the development of affordable and sustainable 3D printed housing. The project involves transporting Luyten's 3D printers to construction sites across Australia and using cost effective and sustainable local materials for construction.[7]
In 2023, Luyten 3D partnered with US based company Alquist 3D, to provide them with its proprietary 3D concrete mix Ultimatecrete, for the printing of houses in the United States and Canada.[8][9]
In 2024, Luyten 3D demonstrated construction of a fully functional two storey house in 32 hours, using its Platypus X12 3D printer.[10][11]
