Vertico at Dutch Design Week 2024!

Table of contents

At Dutch Design Week 2024, Vertico's 3D concrete printing work was on show at several locations in Eindhoven, each with a different piece. The exhibits ranged from a modular column for TU/e to printed pedestals and a speaker.

A nature-inclusive column at the TU/e Pavilion

At the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) Pavilion, visitors found a modular, nature-inclusive 3D printed column made for TU/e. The design reinterprets the traditional column through modular stacking and aims to support biodiversity in urban spaces.

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.
