Bold Ideas in Red: Our Concrete Table at DDW 2024

Table of content

You may already heard that we took part in several projects at @dutchdesignweek 2024. One of them was designed by @high.sense.studio Nourhan Rabah, this 3D concrete-printed table was an exciting project to create and challenge what concrete printing can do with design and engineering.

For this piece, we experimented with a red color additive to make it truly eye-catching. We also crafted a unique concave shape, allowing the tabletop to be seamlessly inserted. And to top it off, we used a specialized 2K material, enabling the table’s impressive overhang to hold strong and stay stable.

Check out our short video of the unique printing process, and let us know: what do you think of this design?

FAQ About the Printheads

Do I need an HMI for printing with Accelerated printhead?

Yes, an HMI (Human-Machine Interface) guides you through the entire 3D printing process with 2-component materials—from preparation to printing and cleaning. It provides real-time data from the printhead’s sensors, giving you full control over the printing process by monitoring key parameters such as accelerant pressure, material flow, etc.

Where can I get materials for 1K printing?

We are open to working with various suppliers, and our experience with multiple market-available materials allows us to offer feedback and local reseller recommendations.

What is the biggest advantage of the Accelerator Printhead compared to a standard one?

The Accelerator Printhead unlocks unparalleled design freedom, allowing for large overhangs, intricate patterns, and complex geometries—perfect for architecture and custom design. It also enables rapid curing, reducing production time while maintaining high precision and structural integrity.

What materials can be used with the Accelerator Printhead?

We have developed a high-resolution, stable material specifically optimized for the Accelerator Printhead. When you purchase a machine, we provide our material recipe free of charge for your local production. Additionally, you can use any suitable material available on the market, offering flexibility for different projects and requirements.

What software does Vertico provide, and is it included with the machine?

Vertico offers an advanced in-house slicer software, designed to handle even the most complex 3D concrete printing projects. Our software comes license-free with every machine purchase, along with full training to ensure you can maximize its potential.
