Technology & Products
Key Products
Shimizu Corporation offers building construction, real estate development, engineering, green energy development, and research and development. They are also developing next-generation digital platforms for buildings.
Technological Advantage
Proprietary spray-based 3D concrete printing system allows printing of reinforced structures up to 2m+ in height, with simulation tools predicting material behavior before printing.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables automated on-site construction of large, curved reinforced concrete components, reducing labor requirements and increasing design flexibility for complex structures.
How They Differentiate
Spray-based deposition method (vs. extrusion-based systems) combined with robotics and simulation for reinforced concrete printing, enabling on-site construction of large structural components.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Construction companies, infrastructure developers, and engineering firms requiring automated concrete construction.
Industry Verticals
Construction; Civil Engineering; Infrastructure
Competitors
Obayashi, Kajima
