Printheads

Two ways to print concrete. The Accelerator hardens the material at the nozzle for fine detail and overhangs up to 60 degrees; the Standard prints pre-mixed concrete for large, simple elements.

Accelerator Printhead (2K)

Vertico printhead robot 3D printing intricate layers on brown surfacePrinthead accelerator creating precise layers on textured reddish-brown surface

A liquid accelerant hardens the concrete in seconds, for full form freedom. Its patented mixing head keeps every layer consistent.

Standard Printhead (1K)

Vertico 3D concrete printing robot creating layered architectural structureStacked soft white towels with textured folds and gentle shadows

Pre-mixed concrete that sets slowly, ideal for large structures like walls and tanks. Works with any material supplier.

Concrete 3D printer FAQ

The questions buyers ask us most. For anything else, talk to an expert.

Every Vertico system is configured around your project: the robot, the printhead, the software and the upgrades you need. That is why we quote each setup individually. Talk to an expert to get a price for yours.

Pick the Standard (1K) for large, simple elements like walls and water tanks: it prints pre-mixed concrete that stays workable for more than 30 minutes. Pick the Accelerator (2K) for detail, complex design pieces and overhangs up to 60 degrees: an accelerant hardens each layer at the nozzle in about 30 seconds.

The Robot on Track has a 3.2 m reach on a rail and prints continuous spans of 10 m or more. Solo stands on a pedestal and prints 270 degrees around its base. Compact works in rooms with ceilings from 2.7 m, with a 2.05 m reach. LabCell has the footprint of a europallet and runs on a standard 230 V supply. EduCell is an enclosed cell for teaching robotic fabrication.

Yes. Both printheads work with Vertico's own mix, a partner mix or your own, from any supplier. The Standard takes a maximum grain size of 3 to 4 mm and the Accelerator 3 mm.

Vertico systems print building elements such as walls, columns and water tanks. The Standard (1K) printhead is made for this kind of large-scale work, with the Robot on Track or Solo, and Solo on a mobile base prints directly on site. See 3D concrete printing for construction.

The Vertico Slicer has no license fee. It runs in Rhino and Grasshopper and turns your design into robot code. The HMI then runs and adjusts every print live from one control stand.

We ship worldwide: 61 printers sold in 27 countries so far. The Vertico team installs the system on site, trains your operators before the first print and stays on hand with support afterwards.

Yes. Colour, milling, a height extension, a rotating printhead and start/stop can be added when you buy the system or at any point later.

With both printheads, printed concrete cures in 7 to 14 days and reaches full strength after 28 days.
