Development of custom materials
Our commitment to innovation extends to materials development so we can create the material needed in each construction that meets the projects' unique requirements. These materials are designed to offer superior performance, durability and sustainability than those used until now.
Design freedom
Digital concrete and robotic 3D printing are closely related in the context of modern construction. Both technologies represent significant advances in the construction industry, complementing each other to offer innovative solutions. We explain the relationship between both concepts:
The digital concrete
These complementary technologies are transforming the construction industry. Digital concrete provides the material and control basis, while digital construction provides the manufacturing method, resulting in a synergy that allows building in a more efficient, sustainable and flexible way.
Advanced construction technology:
3D concrete printing is a practical application of the digital concrete concept, which uses digital designs and computer control to create concrete structures layer by layer.
Material optimization:
Digital concrete makes it possible to develop special concrete mixes designed specifically for 3D printing. These mixtures may also include geopolymers, fibers and sand, etc. optimized to be extruded through the nozzle of the robotic 3D printer.
Efficiency and sustainability:
Both technologies contribute to the reduction of waste and costs in construction. Robotic 3D printing with concrete can reduce costs by up to 1/10 of usual costs, and significantly reduce construction times.
Design and flexibility:
Digital concrete, applied to robotic 3D printing, allows geometric freedom in design. Complex shapes and structures can be created that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional methods.
Automation and security:
Both technologies promote automation in construction, reducing the need for labor especially in dangerous tasks. This results in a decrease in workplace accidents.
Practical applications:
The combination of digital concrete and 3D printing is used to build entire houses, entire communities, emergency shelters and street furniture.
Continuous innovation:
The development of digital concrete drives innovation in 3D printing of buildings. New blends and techniques are being developed to improve thermal insulation and other properties of printed structures.
