Launched! Our FREE online slicer

Table of contents

Vertico is making the heart of its slicer software available for free, fully in the cloud. It is a world's first in 3D concrete printing, and it gives new makers a direct way to turn designs into printable toolpaths.

Why we built our own slicer

When we started in large-scale 3D printing, we struggled to make existing software work for us, so we developed our own. To spare new makers those first hurdles, we are releasing a basic version for free.

Built with partners

We could not have done this alone. Our partner packhunt.io used its proprietary platform to run the Rhino 3D and Grasshopper application in the cloud, which was no small feat.

Saxion Lectoraat Industrial Design developed the codebase that now runs in the cloud.

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.
