Tiong Seng partners leading UK construction firm to explore 3D printing technology for construction

SINGAPORE (Sept 24): Property developer and construction group Tiong Seng Holdings has signed a memorandum of understanding with leading UK construction firm Laing O’Rourke to further the development and utilisation of 3D printing technology for the construction industry.

Leveraging on Laing O’Rourke’s proprietary FreeFAB technology, Tiong Seng will explore 3D printing for construction that allows complex building components and prototypes to be designed and fabricated in a cost-effective manner with shorter lead times.

In a filing to SGX on Monday, Tiong Seng says FreeFAB has enabled the creation of unique designs and shapes of structure formerly unattainable through conventional methods.
