Mella: three G2s, one shopping center

The Mella shopping center was printed by three AMTG G2 gantry printers working as one synchronized system. Curved walls, long commercial elevations — produced layer by layer and delivered on schedule.

Mella is the proof: gantry 3D printing scales from single houses to full commercial buildings. When the project is big, synchronized gantries print it faster than any other method.

Three printers, one system

Each G2 is a large-format gantry printer. At Mella, three of them worked as one coordinated fleet, dividing the building's wall system between them.

Synchronized printing means consistent quality across the whole structure: every machine follows the same digital model, so curved geometry and long straight elevations come out identical no matter which printer produced them.

The result: a commercial wall system — not a demo piece, a real shopping center — printed on a construction schedule.

Why gantry wins at commercial scale

Commercial buildings need volume and repeatability. A gantry prints complete wall systems in one setup, and every layer follows the same toolpath — quality does not depend on the operator's hand.

The G2 (from $480,000) is AMTG’s commercial-scale gantry. It ships as a synchronized production unit: printer, concrete preparation station, foam concrete system and power generator. Printing speed reaches 0.8 m³/h, the warranty is 12 months, and operator training is free.

Assembly is fast for the scale: a 12×12 m gantry frame goes up in about four hours with two people. The machine arrives as a kit of modules — no crane, no heavy lifting equipment.

The takeaway

Mella proved the point: three synchronized G2s printed a shopping center on schedule. Gantry 3D printing is not limited to houses — it scales to commercial buildings.
