3D printing of building materials

Aim of the project

The 3D printing is a technology that has experienced a sustained growth in recent years, and its influence has spread across a wide range of industrial sectors, including medicine, food and construction. In an ever-evolving world where innovation and efficiency are key factors for success, CTCON has followed this trend and incorporated 3D printing into its repertoire of technological capabilities. This strategic adoption has enabled us to offer cutting-edge, customised solutions.

One of the fields in which we have been directing our efforts with 3D printing is construction. 3D printing of concrete has revolutionised the way in which we create architectural structures. This process allows the manufacture of building components in a faster, more efficient and sustainable way compared to traditional methods. At CTCON, we have specialised concrete 3D printing equipment that allows us to design and build structures in a precise and customised manner. This technology has opened up new design possibilities, allowing us to materialising complex structures that were previously difficult to achieve.

The 3D printing of concrete offers significant advantages in terms of reduction of costs and delivery times. Furthermore, by minimising material waste and the need for transportation of prefabricated components, this technique contributes significantly to the sustainability of construction projects. From the creation of unique decorative facades to the manufacture of affordable and durable housing, 3D concrete printing is becoming an essential tool in the modern construction industry.

Another highlight of our 3D printing offering focuses on material versatility. Our equipment uses filaments of various materials, which allows us to tackle a wide range of wide variety of projects in multiple industries. This flexibility in the choice of materials allows us to meet specific needs and to offer customised solutions ranging from the creation of functional prototypes to the production of final objects.

In the field of research, 3D printing has become an invaluable tool. Our dedicated team has worked closely with academic institutions and research centres to create accurate and customised moulds, parts and mock-ups. This capability has accelerated the development process and has enabled the exploring new ideas and concepts.

3D printing is a constantly evolving technology, and at CTCON we are committed to remaining at the forefront of this technological revolution. Our focus on concrete 3D printing and the use of diverse materials allows us to offer innovative and customised solutions for a wide range of applications. As this technology continues to advance, we can explore new possibilities and collaborate to realise your most ambitious visions and projects. We believe that 3D printing is not just a tool; it is a driver of creativity, efficiency and progress.
