Award winning 3D-printed concrete canoe

In 2022, Vertico achieved a significant milestone by 3D printing a 4-meter-long concrete canoe without any support material—a first in our series of concrete canoes. This innovative approach not only streamlined the production process but also enhanced the canoe's structural integrity. The project exemplifies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of 3D concrete printing technology, resulting in an award-winning design that combines functionality with advanced manufacturing techniques.

This project was designed by Kees Leemeijer, with Volker Ruitinga responsible for the first canoe in 2018
