Thank you Digital Concrete 2024!

Table of content

We’ve returned home full of inspiration after diving deep into the cutting edge scientific findings and industrial developments in the world of concrete.

A huge thank you to @itubs.braunschweig for organizing such a fantastic event. Over 400 participants joined more than 200 compelling presentations across 4 parallel sessions, where both emerging talents and industry experts shared their insights and research!

We were thrilled to meet new faces, strengthen connections, and build exciting partnerships for the future.

And speaking of excitement, do you remember the lottery we hosted? We’re now preparing some unique gifts for the lucky winners, including a special 3D printed flower pot.

Thank you to everyone who contributed. This has been our 4th DC in a row, we have not missed one yet and don’t intend to. See you in China 2026!

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.
