Step 01

Robotic Extrusion

A gantry or robotic arm follows a CAD path, laying printable concrete in precise stacked beads — no formwork required.

Step 02

Layer Deposition

Mix rheology is tuned so each bead holds its shape and bonds to the layer below as the wall rises.

On-Site Build-Out

Printed shells are cured in place, then fitted with reinforcement, services, roofing, and interior trades.

Not all concrete is print-ready. Printable mixes are engineered for pumpability, open time, and rapid layer-on-layer buildability without formwork — balancing structural performance against embodied carbon.

  • Portland Cement Printable Mix (35–50 MPa)
  • Geopolymer Concrete (low-carbon, 40+ MPa)
  • Fiber-Reinforced Printable Mortar
  • Lightweight Foam Concrete (<900 kg/m³)
  • Recycled Aggregate Blends
