Adding colour to the mix
Exploring Colored 3D Concrete Printing with Vertico’s New Printhead
At Vertico, we don’t just build with concrete — we shape the future of architectural expression. Our latest development showcases how color can now be seamlessly integrated into 3D concrete printing, unlocking a new dimension of creative control.
The image above captures a high-precision print created using the Accelerator 2K printhead in tandem with our advanced slicing software and six-axis robotic system. The result? A vibrant, non-planar form that blends technical rigor with aesthetic exploration — all produced with outstanding material consistency and print stability.
How the Accelerator Printhead Adds Color and Control
This advancement marks a new milestone in our collaboration with MAI International, as we continue to push the boundaries of multi-material extrusion and print customization. The ability to incorporate pigment or additive layers allows for rich surface gradients, functional zoning, and more expressive architectural elements — all within a single fabrication pass.
To learn more about the technology powering this evolution, explore how Vertico’s innovations in concrete printing are redefining what’s possible in digital fabrication.
A Preview of What’s Coming: New Project Launch
Stay tuned: this piece is just a sneak peek of an upcoming project we're excited to reveal (and launch, quite literally) later this week. As always, we design and build with intention — and color is now part of our vocabulary.
