Yeah, vertico does a great job. I think that they ordered this printer from a company that manufactures the equipment for them to their specifications. This model of printer with the track system Vertico sales has been pretty successful. I just did a video with a group in Florida that has the same model.
This is Amazing Technology. Please tell me how I can invest??? I contacted your Company. @8:50 That tower could be a scale model of a skyscraper, and each of those indents is a patio.... That straight line along the side could be an Elevator!
I come from the old school, having worked with adobe construction on many different projects. I've made adobe bricks by hand and even considered buying an adobe brick making machine when a distant adobe brick yard defeated the whole purpose of building with adobe. More recently I looked into rammed earth construction which stabilized clay with 10-20% cement - a bit less labor intensive than bricks. My own preferences tend more toward the minimalist American southwest pueblo style, so all the textures and convoluted designs made possible by 3-D construction technology are lost on me. Nevertheless I find it intriguing and transformative. Thanks for your videos.
Once we figure out a cement mix design (or a geopolymer mix design) that allows us to batch and then boom pump into the printer hopper. Then we are read for primetime. It is going to be nerve-wracking but I'm hoping that with some extensive R&D some VERY BIG IRON and some very precise AI ... ??? If we start with first principles. How are we mixing the cement in the truck? Is that any different then how we are small-batching our current hoppers. I think that a reconfigure of what we currently understand as a concrete truck might be the cat's meow. A boom pump is a boom pump, until we cant have any material sitting still past 5 min in the piping ... which means we need to be able to blow out the pipes at a moments notice ... all doable !!! It's ripe for innovation if we want to bring this to scale. I mean a precision 3D printer with the reach of a boom pump ??? YIKES !!! Now we are reinventing the wheel. But Hey ... If Elon Musk can engineer a Starship Launch Tower with CHOPSTICKS ... I guess the concrete industry can step up it's engineering prowess too.
I have never heard anything more clearly explained! This is a company I would invest in.
thank you!
So cool to see them print objects at 60 degrees! another great video!!! Thanks again!
You're welcome!
@@zlmdragon. No, I haven't been to a printed home in an earthquake zone yet. I do know it requires far more expansion joints.
Great video Jarret and Volker! Massive. Awesome to see all your progress and the IRS ABB robot with track set-up!

those textured prints are the best.
What I liked the most is the mentioned failures and the lessons learned. Good that the interview was nod done by another marketing person...
Thanks that's what I'm here for.
many lessons learned! glad to share them. dont make the same mistakes!
I am impressed with that tread design

Really cool, the prints looked to be very high quality.
Yes, can't wait to show you the active prints I filmed by them later this week!

This is incredible
Best surface quality by far, this is rivaling concrete casting precision

I appreciate your perspective.

Will this ever be cheaper than precast concrete ?
I hope so
Wonder how long before a similar robot can print a 60 feet wide (30feet span) house 4 stories high.
3-4 years?
You could do it now in sections but it would need significant & expensive steel structural support.

Is he using Foam Concrete?
Nope
a time lapse should be cool
There are a bunch of those on my TikTok
It can build organic house building.
no 3dbenchy ,no go ^_~
