Technology & Products
Key Products
Platypus X2 Expeditionary 3D Concrete Printer; Ultimatecrete (proprietary concrete material); Submerged 3D Concrete Printing System
Technological Advantage
Proprietary concrete formulation and robotic extrusion system enable direct seabed construction, eliminating need for cofferdams, dry-docking, and chemical accelerators—verified in partnership with University of Wollongong. This material and process IP creates a defensible moat in marine and remote construction, though replicable by well-funded competitors.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces construction time by up to 70% and labor costs by 80% compared to traditional methods, enabling rapid deployment of structures (e.g., a fully functional set of units in 18 hours) in remote, disaster-stricken, or marine environments without complex logistics.
How They Differentiate
3x faster deployment than COBOD's BOD2 printer (18 hours for units vs. days) with proprietary marine-grade concrete that prints underwater without accelerators, unlike competitors requiring dry conditions or chemical agents. Offers mobile, expeditionary printers (Platypus X2) for remote sites vs. fixed systems.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Construction companies, real estate developers, government infrastructure and defense agencies, universities, and remote community developers.
