Innovative 3D-printed structural columns by Vertico
Vertico 3D prints structural concrete columns that combine intricate, modern designs with load-bearing capacity. Without the limits of traditional molds, each column can be highly customized and work as both a critical structural element and an architectural statement.
Customized structural columns
Printing removes the need for a custom mold for every shape. That makes one-off column designs practical for contemporary architecture. See printed columns in practice at Dutch Design Week 2022.
Reinforcement
Together with the University of Liverpool, we developed thin-walled printed formwork with integrated reinforcement. The formwork is filled with high-strength, self-compacting concrete.
This approach creates complex but practical forms that improve both appearance and structural integrity. Read more about hybrid 3D printed concrete formwork.
From bold ideas to structure
As 3D printing technology develops, Vertico helps designers turn bold ideas into real structural elements. Learn more about our work in 3D concrete printing for construction.
