Abstract:  The transverse slider is one of the components in the 3D machine civil building printing which serves to help 
bring the nozzle to the coordinates according to the desired building design in order to produce the shape 
according to the design. 3D machine printing Civil buildings require a device designed to be a carrier for other 
components. Transverse slider will carry the nozzle with the help of the motor movement, then with the help 
of the control the slider will move according to its coordinates so as to help bring the nozzle to the coordinates 
of the building design. The construction of the transverse slider on the Civil Building 3d printing machine is 
carried out by machining and fabricating the parts such as lathe, milling, grinding, and welding. After the 
Slider is completed and realized at the Bandung Manufacturing Polytechnic Department of Manufacturing 
Engineering, it is hoped that the Slider can be used for the manufacture of civil buildings and function properly 
and be useful for the Polman academy, and the State of Indonesia. 
1  INTRODUCTION 
Along with the times, the manufacturing industry is 
always developing continuously so that advances  in 
manufacturing technology can simplify and speed up 
the production process, as well as its relation to civil 
technology  that applies  the  Additive  Manufacturing 
method  by  means  of  3D  Print  for  building 
construction.  Additive  Manufacturing  is  a 
manufacturing process by adding material in layers so 
that  it  can  form  something  called  finished  product, 
this building construction can be operated by 3D Print 
which processing time is relatively faster compared to 
manufacture by human labor. 
3D Print building or 3D building concrete casting 
machine  (3D  Concrete  Building  Printing)  has  a 
working  principle  similar  to  3D  Print  in  general, 
namely  the  FDM  type,  where  the  building  to  be 
printed  can  be  formed  by  adding  concrete  material 
and removing it layer by layer through a nozzle whose 
movement is operated by the program. 3D Print this 
building  requires  nozzle  for  Secrete  ingredient 
geopolymer which becomes ingredient building, so it 
is necessary sliders for bring nozzle to the desired 
coordinates  so  that  the  designed  building  could 
formed. 
The  working  principle  of  the  3d  printing 
transverse slider for  civil buildings is that the servo 
motor  will  rotate  according  to  the  direction  of  the 
computer. The servo motor will turn the gears on the 
rack  gear  to  move  Slider  according  to  coordinates. 
The slider will bring  the  nozzle to form the desired 
civil building design.

2  SOLUTION METHODS 
In this solution method, it begins by making design 
based on found references. After To do planning start 
the  planning process  making  about  how  sliders  this 
will  made.  After  planning  done  so  start  at  stage 
material  procurement,  material  procurement  is
