■Background to the launch of Polyuse One
Since its founding in 2019, Polyuse has consistently pursued its corporate vision of "construction in which people and technology coexist," continuing the research and development of Japan-made construction 3D printing technology so that it can contribute as much as possible to addressing the shrinking and aging workforce in today's construction industry, the aging of social infrastructure, unstable weather, sudden disasters and more.
Along the way, using Polyuse Zero (*1), which we have refined through repeated improvements, we have continued to build up Japan's largest track record of 3D printer construction (*2), mainly in public works, along with a wide range of verification data. As a result, the number of cases in which construction 3D printing technology is put to effective use in the Japanese market has risen sharply in recent years.
As the next step, we believe we are entering a stage in which we will co-create construction DX with construction 3D printing technology across Japan, drawing on the wide variety of related data we have accumulated with many partners. We have therefore decided to begin mass production of the updated Polyuse One in April 2025, which has led to this press release.
We will continue to deliver construction 3D printing technology whose performance and functions we keep researching and developing every day.
(*1) Polyuse's prototype construction 3D printer. Around 10 units are currently creating case studies in the civil engineering and building fields across Japan.
(*2) Based on research by the JSCE Concrete Committee and Polyuse (see: https://prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/000000022.000049711.html)
■On opening pre-order reservations for Polyuse One
As Japan's only construction 3D printer manufacturer, we will continue to lead the domestic market in technology development. To that end, we are further strengthening our in-house R&D structure for hardware, software, materials and more, and working every day toward even higher quality, greater safety and better construction performance.
Next fiscal year, it will still be difficult to deliver a large number of units at once, but we intend to deliver units and provide implementation support in stages so that customers can experience the benefits in their construction work as soon as possible.
We hope you will take this opportunity to experience construction 3D printing technology up close, and that together we can make it the new standard in the construction industry.

■What happens after you reserve a pre-order
First, we will contact everyone who registers via the dedicated form below, in turn, with sales information and details of the implementation process and support. Once both parties have agreed on requirements such as the final price, delivery date, performance and optional items, we will receive your formal order. If you are interested in introducing Polyuse One, please start by registering.
■Expected sales price: ¥33,000,000
■Deliveries are scheduled to begin in stages from around summer 2025.
(Production timing may change depending on reservation status)
*The price above includes the comprehensive support needed for stable operation, such as training at the time of introduction, invitations to study sessions, and the sharing of case studies and results from across Japan. The price may change due to rising raw material costs or requests for additional technology options. If so, we will promptly notify customers who have made reservations by email.

■Exhibit and demo printing at Construction DX Expo Osaka in September
Construction DX Expo will be held from Wednesday, September 11 to Friday, September 13, 2024, at INTEX Osaka!
The expo showcases digital transformation (DX) technologies for the construction industry, including BIM, CIM, CAD, ICT construction machinery, next-generation scaffolding, site management, process management systems, surveying instruments, business efficiency systems and construction robots. It is a specialized construction DX exhibition attended by general contractors, subcontractors, construction companies and others looking to adopt new products and technologies.
Event name: Construction DX Expo (advance registration is required to attend)
Dates: Wednesday, September 11 – Friday, September 13, 2024
Venue: INTEX Osaka
Exhibit location: Outdoor exhibition "SKY STAGE," Booth No. 26-9
Website: https://www.japan-build.jp/osaka/ja-jp/visit/kdx.html
During the event, Polyuse's Ooka will also speak at the seminar below. We hope you will use it as an opportunity to learn more about construction 3D printing technology. (Advance registration is required to attend)
Theme: An era in which the unconventional becomes the "norm": The challenge of Japan's only construction 3D printer company
Date and time: Thursday, September 12, 2024, 12:30–13:15
Venue: INTEX Osaka

■What is a construction 3D printer?
A construction 3D printer is a specialized 3D printer used to construct buildings and structures. Compared with conventional construction methods, it can produce concrete structures more quickly and efficiently, and is expected to streamline the construction process and improve building quality. It is also expected to reduce the labor required and improve safety on construction sites, and it further promotes environmental benefits such as the use of sustainable building materials and the reduction of waste.
Today, construction 3D printers are moving from the experimental stage to full-scale practical use in countries around the world, including Japan. Many countries and companies are working on the development and research of construction 3D printers, and Polyuse, too, is advancing their social implementation as a technology that will define what is standard in the construction industry of the future.
