3D-Printed Sand Mould Facades for TU Eindhoven

Design, research, and innovation converge in this groundbreaking project with the Technical University of Eindhoven. Collaborating with Prof. Juliette Bekkering, Ass. Prof. Cristina Nan, Alessio Vigorito of Summum Engineering, and Neutelings Riedijk Architects, Vertico explored new frontiers in 3D concrete printing.

Using our advanced robotic systems, we created reusable sand moulds that eliminated the need for traditional formwork. Over these moulds, we 3D-printed curved geometries to form unique facade panels that blend architectural beauty with sustainable techniques. This process not only reduces waste but also opens new possibilities for complex, efficient, and environmentally conscious design.

By leveraging 3D concrete printing, this project showcases Vertico’s commitment to transforming modern architecture with cutting-edge technology and innovative materials.
