This table shows our approach to non-planar 3D concrete printing. It is designed for two uses: stacked, it works as a high table, and split apart, it becomes low coffee tables.

Non-planar printing means the robot follows curved toolpaths instead of flat, horizontal layers. We use the same technique in other experiments, such as our 90-degree angle print.

How the non-planar base is made

To create the non-planar base for the second part of the table, we first print the base. A plastic divider is then placed on top so the next layers of concrete do not stick, which lets us separate the parts easily.

The table is one more example of how 3D concrete printing opens up creative and functional furniture design for architects and designers.

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.
