Black Buffalo 3D and LIUNA, Eastern Region Partner on Training

UNION, N.J., Oct. 24, 2024 — (PRNewswire) —  Black Buffalo 3D and LIUNA, Eastern Region have partnered to accelerate training of its members on 3D construction methods and technology. Beginning in October 2024, union members will begin hands-on training at Black Buffalo 3D's headquarters gaining knowledge on methods of construction, learning the skills and information needed to participate in every stage of a 3D construction printing project from assembly through move-in.

"Interest in 3D construction printing is growing and having a trained workforce of professional construction craft laborers ready to call to action will help get more projects going" stated Mike Miceli, CEO of Black Buffalo 3D Corporation "In working closely with LIUNA, they will benefit from collaboration and access to our facility and NEXCON printers, while our teams work to finetune a repeatable training curriculum that will help LIUNA remain prepared as the future of construction becomes today's reality."

Black Buffalo 3D was the first company in the world to meet ICC-ES AC509 criteria for 3D printing of structural concrete walls. This was a significant step in proving its approach to additive construction technology was a viable and more efficient alternative to traditional building methods. BB3D's NEXCON printer and its proprietary materials were the first in the world to print owner-occupied homes that relied on the printed shell as the load bearing element supporting the roof. Black Buffalo 3D works with its clients to determine the correct wall design to meet their project goals including structural integrity, energy efficiency, livability, and aesthetics.

"LIUNA is excited to partner with Black Buffalo 3D as we look to expand our skills and stay abreast of new technologies in construction," said Michael E. Hellstrom, vice president and eastern regional manager for LIUNA. "These initial training sessions—covering everything from site prep to the printing process to installation--will allow our members to get hands on experience and exclusive access to the latest in 3D construction printing technology and future proof their skillset to assist on upcoming projects."

The partnership between LIUNA and Black Buffalo 3D is geared towards creating a source of skilled and experienced trades workers to address the growing demand for 3D construction workers with a focus on North America. The ability to source immediately available labor will increase the comfort of builders and developers to shift from traditional building methods to stronger, safer, and more efficient 3D construction printers. Black Buffalo 3D's NEXCON printers, Planitop 3D, proprietary ink, and operational expertise are available through its New Jersey, USA headquarters. Contact the team for additional details.
