Accucode and RCAM Technologies Announce 3D Concrete Printing Plans for Offshore Wind Turbines
Summary
This announcement comes after RCAM Technologies secured $250,000 from the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade’s (COEDIT) Advanced Industries Accelerator Grant Program. RCAM will use the funding to expand its 3D concrete printing capabilities at two partner locations: the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO and Accucode’s new facility in Colorado Springs, CO. “This grant will allow us to establish large scale 3D concrete printing capabilities in Colorado and utilize NREL’s world-class testing facilities to advance our technologies,” says Jason Cotrell, CEO of RCAM Technologies. RCAM will first install a large-scale 3D concrete printing system at NREL where they will begin fabricating the fixed-bottom support structures for offshore wind turbines. By leveraging an experienced team of technicians and well-established depot centers in the United States, Accucode 3D is uniquely qualified to help 3D resellers and vendors grow their footprint across North America. RCAM Technologies’ team, partners, and advisors have been carefully selected to provide world-leading expertise in key disciplines needed to dominate industrial concrete additive manufacturing markets.
