Polyuse Inc. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors: Takuya Iwamoto / Wataru Ooka; hereinafter "Polyuse"), the only company in Japan* that develops and supplies construction 3D printers, will exhibit at Maker Faire Tokyo 2025 (venue: Tokyo Big Sight), to be held from Saturday, October 4 to Sunday, October 5, 2025, where it will showcase Polyuse One, its construction 3D printer (hereinafter "3D printer") that entered mass-production sales in September.
In addition to an actual Polyuse One unit, we plan to exhibit a bench printed with a 3D printer as a photo spot. This is an opportunity for a wide range of visitors, especially those with a keen interest in making things, to see up close an actual 3D printer that is driving construction DX.
*(As stated in the Japan Concrete Institute Newsletter, published in 2024, and Yano Research Institute's "3D Printer Market: Current Status and Outlook, 2024 Edition")
[What Is the Polyuse One Construction 3D Printer?]
To cope with the serious labor shortage on construction sites in Japan and changing economic conditions, advancing construction DX, starting with shorter construction periods, has become an essential challenge.
To meet this need, we have researched, developed and supplied a construction 3D printer that prints concrete structures using our proprietary printing material, achieving "shorter delivery times," "labor savings" and "consistent quality" for concrete structures.
Polyuse One is the only Japanese-made construction 3D printer in Japan.

[Features of Polyuse One]
• Folding mechanism for improved portability
Polyuse One features a folding design that takes transport and setup at construction sites into account. It can be transported by truck, and setup on site takes only about five minutes, so work can start quickly. Equipped with casters for moving and adjusters for leveling, it can be operated flexibly to suit the installation environment.
• High-rigidity frame for high-speed printing
Its proprietary U-shaped mechanism, which makes the folding structure possible, also supports high-speed printing. We designed and adopted a high-rigidity frame that accounts for the acceleration and vibration generated during printing.
• Control system that supports updates over the network
The printer supports network connection, enabling continuous software updates. In addition to new features, after-sales support and maintenance are also provided over the network, improving convenience and safety.

▪Comment from Taichi Matsumori, Hardware Lead, Polyuse
Polyuse is a startup that keeps taking on the challenges facing the construction industry through the development of hardware, software and materials.
Our hardware team has spent years building up the development and verification of our printer from scratch together with our customers. After many failures and a great deal of trial and error, and thanks to the hard work of our partner companies and team members, we have finally reached mass production of Polyuse One.
At this exhibition, we hope that everyone who loves making things will come and see an actual Polyuse One up close and experience its impressive presence for themselves. Going forward, we will further strengthen our development and manufacturing of not only Polyuse One but many other hardware products as well. If you're interested, please stop by our booth.
