For the past two years a conglomerate of trade associations, industry, government and academia have been collaborating on the world’s first operational 3D-printed excavator. That project made a giant leap forward with the recent printing of a prototype that leveraged large-scale additive manufacturing technologies and further explores the feasibility of printing with metal alloys.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG and IFPE 2017 are teaming up to unveil the world’s first fully-functional 3-D printed construction excavator and the first large-scale use of steel in 3-D printing, known as additive manufacturing. The excavator, which will be on display at the joint trade shows in March 2017, will bring to life how technology is transforming the construction industry in line with the show’s 2017 theme, “Imagine What’s Next.” In addition to the pre-printed excavator, show attendees will see a second excavator printing live on the show floor.

CONEXPO-CON/AGG, the largest international gathering in the Western Hemisphere for the construction industries, revealed its theme for the 2017 exhibition: Imagine What’s Next.
