From Prototype to Reality: Full-Scale Construction in Action

When Georgios Staikos purchased a Vertico 3D concrete printer two years ago, we knew big things were coming. Today, Staikos 3D is using that machine to construct a full-scale 3D printed concrete house—and the results are nothing short of impressive.

Printing a House: Progress with Perspective

Staikos 3D’s project is a great example of how far 3D concrete printing has come—printing complex wall structures quickly and cleanly, without the need for formwork.

“Printing the shell is fast and beautiful—but building a house still takes much more.”Volker Rütinga, Founder of Vertico

As Volker explains in our deep-dive article on 3D printed housing, printing the structure is just one part of a much bigger picture. Installation, insulation, roofing, and compliance still require traditional trades.

That’s not a downside—it’s just the truth behind the technology. This house shows the real potential of robotic concrete printing, and also where the future still needs building

Empowering Builders to Build Differently

At Vertico, our goal isn’t to automate everything—it’s to give creators powerful tools. Seeing clients like Staikos 3D take that tool and scale up to print an entire home is exactly why we do what we do.

We’re excited to keep following their journey—and supporting the growing global wave of 3D printed construction.

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.
