Technology & Products

Key Products

6D Digital Fabrication Platform; Cloud-based BIM architecture platform; Robotic extrusion system with multi-material capability

Technological Advantage

Proprietary extrusion system capable of depositing multiple materials (geopolymers, bioplastics) simultaneously to create composite structures with tailored properties, integrated with cloud-based BIM platform

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Enables construction of complex, composite structures with varying material properties in a single print, reducing traditional construction timelines and labor costs for large-scale projects.

How They Differentiate

Multi-material extrusion capability allowing composite structures with varying properties in single sections vs. competitors' single-material approaches; integrated BIM platform for end-to-end digital workflow

Why this company matters

Chorogenesis targets the architecture, engineering, and construction sector with a 6D Digital Fabrication Platform that integrates software, hardware, and materials for large-scale 3D printing. The company differentiates from single-material construction printers by enabling simultaneous deposition of multiple materials—such as geopolymers and bioplastics—within a single print run, allowing composite structures with tailored mechanical and thermal properties.

The platform combines a cloud-based BIM architecture system with a proprietary robotic extrusion head capable of multi-material switching. This end-to-end digital workflow aims to reduce traditional construction timelines and labor costs for complex, large-scale projects. The company's process falls under material extrusion for 3D concrete printing (MEX-3DCP).

Chorogenesis targets AEC firms, real estate developers, and resort developers. A notable announced project was the $5M Nautilus Genesis Resort in 2014, with planned construction start in March 2015. The company emerged from stealth in 2014 and has raised $30M in total funding. Competitors include Apis Cor, COBOD, and ICON, though Chorogenesis emphasizes its multi-material and integrated BIM capabilities as key differentiators.

A key open question is whether the company has moved from announced projects to completed, revenue-generating structures. With a team of 51-200 and a founding date of 2010, Chorogenesis operates in an emerging niche where scaling from demonstration to commercial delivery remains the primary challenge.
