HPA Pavilion Revealed!

Table of content

Eindhoven, The Netherlands – When consortium De Huizenprinters set out to 3D print a structure in 2018, they had just completed initial trials of developing concrete for robotic additive manufacturing. At that time, they still had little knowledge of robotics and a material mix that could only stack 30cm high before collapsing. Now, 4 years later, they have completed an impressive first in 3D concrete printing – a fully printed concrete shell structure pavilion. What’s more, the project was completed without the need for rebar or custom formwork.

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.
