Technology & Products

Key Products

Parametric design services; Structural engineering for 3DCP; Computational optimization; Research and development in additive manufacturing

Technological Advantage

Proprietary algorithms for form-finding and graphic statics combined with parametric modeling, enabling rapid design optimization for 3D-printed concrete structures (verified in projects like 3D-printed bridges).

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces design iteration time by 50% through parametric modeling and computational optimization, enabling cost-effective 3D-printed structures with up to 30% material savings versus traditional methods.

How They Differentiate

Specializes exclusively in parametric design and structural optimization for 3DCP, unlike generalist engineering firms; 3x faster design iteration through custom algorithms versus manual methods; Focus on sustainable and natural materials in additive construction.
