At the moment we are trying to develop the printing of concrete more professionally worldwide, so that all imaginable constructions can be printed out of concrete. Here, in my opinion, the interaction of printing system and printer material is the deciding factor, similar to an inkjet printer. If you have the wrong ink quality, there can be significant difficulties.
With standard concretes or improved standard concrete, good to good results can be achieved with concrete walls. But what if a combination of insulation and concrete is required, as well as high strength for the printing of high-rise buildings or filigree structures? Here the standard concrete comes quickly to its material limits abuts.
In addition, the printheads are moving faster and faster in all dimensions - so an extremely fast strength development in conjunction with high adhesion is necessary.
In our opinion, all these requirements can only be achieved with extreme UHPC material qualities. We are currently working on these materials. At the moment we also process a wide variety of material combinations to make them printable. In doing so, our over 20 years of experience in the development of UHPC casting and injection materials, production and application experience in a variety of industries around the world are key to our success.
Not to mention a very good pumpability with low load on the pump or the printer system.
We are not looking for the standard - we are looking for the extraordinary. Do you want to accompany us?
Desig
In the field of design, we believe that we will be printing extremely fine filigree structures using special UHPC grades. Today wall thicknesses in the design range of less than 10 mm can be achieved with UHPC design qualities. First attempts are currently running at us to drastically reduce the wall thicknesses.
In our design workshop, we "play" with the most diverse combinations of materials, sometimes with amazing results.
