Biggest install to date!

Table of contents

Vertico has completed its largest installation to date at Sirolis - Prefabricados de Betão, S.A. in Portugal. The precast producer now runs a full 2K printing solution on an extended ABB robot with a linear track.

The setup

The system is built around Vertico's full 2K printing solution. Key elements:

  • A 3.2 m extended ABB robot arm
  • A 6.7 m robot track with a raised carriage
  • An integrated, automated silo solution
  • Installation on top of a concrete slab

The cell is set up to print on both sides of the track, which lets Sirolis produce large and ambitious prints.

Working with Sirolis

Sirolis runs a world-class facility, and its team was able to operate the machine from the very start. Special thanks go to Marco Sutil Saraiva for his excellent support and cooperation throughout the installation.

See what Sirolis is producing on its SIR3D project page.

FAQ About the Printheads

Do I need an HMI for printing with Accelerated printhead?

Yes, an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) guides you through the entire 3D printing process with 2-component materials—from preparation to printing and cleaning. It provides real-time data from the printhead’s sensors, giving you full control over the printing process by monitoring key parameters such as accelerant pressure, material flow, etc.

What is the biggest advantage of the Accelerator Printhead compared to a standard one?

The Accelerator Printhead unlocks unparalleled design freedom, allowing for large overhangs, intricate patterns, and complex geometries—perfect for architecture and custom design. It also enables rapid curing, reducing production time while maintaining high precision and structural integrity.

What materials can be used with the Accelerator Printhead?

We have developed a high-resolution, stable material specifically optimized for the Accelerator Printhead. When you purchase a machine, we provide our material recipe free of charge for your local production. Additionally, you can use any suitable material available on the market, offering flexibility for different projects and requirements.

What software does Vertico provide, and is it included with the machine?

Vertico offers an advanced in-house slicer software, designed to handle even the most complex 3D concrete printing projects. Our software comes license-free with every machine purchase, along with full training to ensure you can maximize its potential.
