Vertico at Dutch Design Week 2024

Table of contents

Vertico took part in Dutch Design Week 2024, showing its 3D concrete printing work at several locations in Eindhoven. One of them was the exhibition space organized by Isola Design Group, where our printed pieces carried the work of other artists.

For this exhibition, we 3D printed the pedestals that display the works of a range of artists:

  • Burkhard Schittny
  • Mati Sipiora
  • Oliwia Ledzińska
  • Elaine Chan-Perryman
  • Damla Ertem
  • Alejandra Hermida
  • Natasja Alers
  • Alfhild Sarah Külper

Seeing our technology support such diverse creative work was a rewarding experience. We explain the design approach behind the pedestals in how parametric design shaped the DDW pedestals.

The exhibition is at Area 51, Ketelhuisplein 18, 5617 AE Eindhoven, where our designs are on display. Two pieces to look out for are our popular 3D printed speaker and the computational concrete column.

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.
