Symposium 3D Concrete Printing - Developments in the Netherlands

Table of content

The 3D printing of concrete is developing at a mind blowing pace. Some years ago, only a few had even heard of the phenomenon. Now, young enterprises and established names are eager to start using the technology and give the concrete construction industry an innovation boost. Dutch companies are leaders in this development that is now also evolving rapidly across the globe.

On 22 June 2018, from 9:30 - 18:00 hrs, the research group 3D Concrete Printing of the TU Eindhoven brings industry together during the Symposium 3D Concrete Printing to present the latest technological development, discuss the challenges, find inspiration and form new partnerships.

A number of short to-the-point presentations will provide an overview of developments in the Netherlands. Complemented with several in-depth lectures and closing with a panel discussion headed by ir. Jacco Buisman (Movares), the symposium will act as a supercharger for the knowledge economy.

The program will published here shortly. Confirmed speakers include:

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.
