Technology & Products

Key Products

LAByrinth - Compact, customizable concrete 3D printer for research and small-scale projects; StroyBot 6.2 - Industrial-scale 3D concrete printer for full-scale construction; Multiple custom-configured models for specific project requirements

Technological Advantage

Proprietary gantry-based concrete printing system (patents pending or held, specific patents not disclosed); paste deposition technology optimized for construction-grade concrete; ability to print tornado-resistant structures; integration of traditional construction expertise with robotic precision.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Reduces construction labor costs and timelines by 40-60% (estimated from methodology); enables custom concrete house printing; gantry design provides mobility and efficiency for on-site construction; proven track record including multi-story commercial projects (12.5m × 10.5m × 4m hotel suite, Philippines 2015).

How They Differentiate

Total Kustom's gantry-based lightweight design emphasizes mobility and on-site efficiency; proven capability in complex geometries (castles vs. standard housing); focus on research-scale solutions (LAByrinth) complements industrial scale (StroyBot). Combines traditional construction knowledge with scientific research—differentiated from pure tech startups.
