Wind energy prototypes

Table of content

Floating wind turbines and subsea energy storage devices.

Just two of the game changing technologies that RCAM Technologies is working on. Making use of concrete printing technology.

We have prototyped anchors before and now a scale model of batteries used to store excess wind energy that can then be harvested later.

The wind energy generated pumps the water out of these spheres. Only when the energy is needed again, they are flooded using the deep sea water pressure. This generates electricity. Amazing.

We are very happy to be able to support these truly renewable technologies. Thanks to Jason Cotrell for his continued support, confidence in our technology and leadership in the wind energy space.

Jason presented a poster at the Digital Concrete Conference 2022. Vertico was also there to meet industry and academia in this third edition.

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.
