Striving for Perfection: quality testing with Lean Six Sigma

At Vertico, we’re always aiming to achieve the best quality possible in our 3D printed concrete products. To ensure this, we’ve been conducting rigorous cracking tests on our flower pots, assessing the results based on various parameters.

Each pot was cured under different conditions—some in a curing chamber, others under plastic. We even went a step further to evaluate how real-life scenarios like planting and regular watering impact the concrete’s durability. This helps us fine-tune our process and deliver high-quality, long-lasting products that are ready for any environment.

Watch the behind-the-scenes video insights into our testing process!

The results are not in yet. Our CEO @vruitinga happens to have a Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma and is running a Green Belt project with @orestis.pavlidis_ph . The analysis hopes to provide crucial information for further testing and printing.

Parameters that influence the experiments include water/cement ratio, accelerant ratio, humidity, curing compound, time in curing chamber, weight of plants and earth, watering rate, and many more.
