Concrete 3D printing with industrial robots enables controlled deposition of cement-based materials to create complex geometries without the need for formwork. This method reduces material usage, shortens lead times, and facilitates the production of geometrically efficient designs that would be impractical or costly to achieve with traditional techniques.
The video below showcases 3D printing of a storm water system, manufactured as part of the PrintCrete project. It was printed using an ABB robotic arm on a linear track combined with a end effector for concrete extrusion from Vertico.
This initiative is revolutionizing the Swedish construction industry by advancing 3D printing for prefabricated concrete elements. This collaborative effort focuses on material development, refining printing processes, and implementing innovative business models to ensure efficiency, cost reduction, and sustainability.
Funded by Formas, a Swedish Research Council for Sustainable Development, this project exemplifies how industry, academia, and innovation come together to shape the future of construction. We are proud to contribute to this collaboration with AdaOne’s slicing and simulation capabilities.
