We couldn’t be more grateful! A huge thank you to everyone who visited us and showed interest in our work. We were honored to be featured in multiple pavilions this year, and it was truly exciting to see the buzz around our projects.

One of the highlights was definitely our stacked 3D-printed column at the TU/e pavilion. This modular design, inspired by ancient techniques but brought to life through cutting-edge 3D concrete printing, received a lot of attention—and we hope you loved it as much as we do! It was incredible to see so many people engaging with the column, sparking conversations about the potential of modular construction.

A huge thank you to Built Environment at TU/e, Eindhoven University of Technology for inviting us to be part of this innovative project!

Thanks again to all who stopped by, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds!

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.

Where can I get materials for 1K printing?

We are open to working with various suppliers, and our experience with multiple market-available materials allows us to offer feedback and local reseller recommendations.

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.
