Technology & Products
Key Products
Printfrastructure™ solution for 3D concrete printed components for utilities, rail, and highways sectors.
Technological Advantage
Uses robot-mounted 3D printers with low-carbon mortar to print bespoke concrete structures layer-by-layer at exact specifications, enabling automation that saves at least 43% on labor while delivering significant carbon reduction. Combines in-house print capability with global technology partnerships and ISO standards committee membership.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers up to 50% carbon reduction, 20% cost savings, and 55% labor savings versus traditional construction methods, while minimizing disruption to public services through on-site 3D printing in complex and confined spaces.
How They Differentiate
Purpose-driven social enterprise combining mobile robotics 3D concrete printing with sustainability focus; specializes in on-site printing for complex/confined infrastructure spaces (utilities, rail, highways) rather than residential construction;Printfrastructure™ trademark; UK representative on Global ISO 3D Concrete Printing Standards Committee; integrates social value into construction projects
