Our Technology
Revolutionizing construction with 3D concrete printing
3D Concrete Printing Technology
At Contour Concrete and Cement, we are pioneers in leveraging cutting-edge 3D printing technology to revolutionize construction through our specialized concrete solutions. Our unique additive manufacturing approach unlocks a faster, more sustainable, and cost-effective way to build.
Proprietary Concrete Formulations
The key to our 3D printing success starts with our proprietary concrete mixes engineered specifically for additive construction applications. Our concrete scientists have developed customized, high-performance concrete formulations optimized for pumpability, extrudability, and rapid build & curing times.
3D Printing Process
Once on site, our concrete is fed into specialized 3D printers that extrude the material layer-by-layer to create the home's structural shell per the digital architectural plans. This additive, computer-controlled printing process enables Design Freedom, allowing construction of complex shapes and organic architectural styles.
In-House Design Capabilities
Our in-house design team leverages cutting-edge Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D Architectural design software to tailor each home to the unique project requirements. BIM enables seamless translation from the digital designs to automated 3D printing files.
Construction speed & cost savings
3D concrete printing construction offers several key advantages over traditional building methods:
- Vastly accelerated construction timelines - exteriors printed in just days.
- Up to 50% overall cost savings vs. standard construction.
- Reduced material waste and sustainable practices.
- Ability to automate and 3D print on-site or in a factory setting.
Concrete Shell & Component Printing
Our innovative approach to building affordable housing with 3D printers aims to disrupt the traditional construction industry and provide sustainable, high-quality communities for underserved areas.
