A Bold Bloom: 3D Printed Flower Pot with Red Pigment

At Vertico, we’re always exploring new ways to merge form, function, and fabrication. Our latest creation? A 3D printed rectangular flower pot enhanced with a bold red pigment — a small object that highlights the precision and versatility of concrete printing.

3D Concrete Printed Pot

Minimalist Form Meets Bold Color

With its clean lines and carefully layered geometry, the pot embraces a minimalist aesthetic while introducing a vibrant pop of color. The red pigment not only adds character, but challenges the traditional perception of concrete as grey and utilitarian.

This piece showcases what’s possible when material
experimentation meets parametric design. It’s not just a pot — it’s a statement in layered precision and surface quality.

Behind the Print – Process Overview

This flower pot was printed using our robotic concrete printing system, optimized for fine-tuned control and design flexibility. The red pigment was integrated directly into the mix, allowing for color consistency throughout each printed layer.

  • Material: Custom concrete mix infused with pigment
  • Printer Type: Robotic arm for agile movement and precision
  • Design Features: Uniform layering, hollow core, smooth finish

By dialing in both the mix and the motion, our team achieved a print with crisp edges and a seamless surface — all without post-processing.

Why It Matters – Small Scale, Big Ideas

This isn’t just a decorative object — it’s a proof of concept. Small-format prints like these allow us to experiment with:

  • Material performance in tighter geometries
  • Color integration for visual impact
  • Design variation without added cost or waste

They also serve as ideal prototypes for architectural elements like modular facades, custom furniture, or urban design features.

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.
