While Anna was studying Astrophysics in the Technical University of Irkutsk, she met a young self-made engineer with no university degree, Nikita. Despite having no profound university level education, Nikita had years of experience within construction industry and machine building …
About The Company Xtree is a young startup focused specifically on 3D Construction Printing. The technology is based on a material layered extrusion process, where a concrete-like material is pushed through a nozzle that moves around the printable surface and deposits a continuous line of material in several layers, until the whole height of the …
About The Company Minibuilders is essentially a layered material extrusion process, where a fused material is pushed through a nozzle and deposited in layer. This technology is very typical and well established both in 3D Printing in general (known as Fused Deposition Modeling or FDM), as well as in its construction-scale variants. But what sets …
About The Company D-Shape is a well-known name, and certainly one of the first known technologies that focused on 3D construction printing. The printer uses a binder jetting technology (described further below), and is currently the single available company providing printers of this type. Using a large gantry structure to move, the printer creates an …
About The Company BetAbram is a technology based on material layered extrusion process, where a concrete-like material is pushed through a nozzle that moves around the printable surface and deposits a continuous line of material in several layers, until the whole height of the object has been printed. While there is no particular focus on …
