Technology & Products
Key Products
INSTATIQ P1 (Progress One), also known as KARLOS 3D, is a mobile 3D concrete printer that combines automated concrete extrusion with a 26-meter robotic arm for on-site wall-scale construction.
Technological Advantage
Inherited concrete extrusion precision from Putzmeister parent (world leader in concrete pumping); proprietary robotic arm control for complex geometries; integration with standard concrete supply chain (SCHWENK, Heidelberg Materials); strategic partnerships with major construction groups (ZÜBLIN/STRABAG subsidiary, Rupp Group).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces construction time for wall structures from weeks to days (7-day completion for multi-story walls); reduces labor costs 40% vs. conventional formwork; enables sustainable CO₂-reduced concrete; zero-setup time via mobile platform; precision printing eliminates rework.
How They Differentiate
INSTATIQ leverages Putzmeister's industrial concrete infrastructure (70-year heritage); only competitor with mobile on-site deployment at scale; joint venture model (NELCON) provides direct market access through ZÜBLIN/STRABAG construction network. XtreeE focuses on stationary installations; Contour Crafting pre-revenue; CyBe more research-focused.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
General contractors, residential builders, social housing developers, construction groups (ZÜBLIN, Rupp, SCHWENK ecosystem)
