3D construction printing, designed end-to-end across materials, equipment, and operations

V3D designs around the materials, climate, and site conditions of each region. By making the most of locally sourced materials, we are leading the real-world adoption of 3D construction printing in Southeast Asia.

End-to-end design across materials, equipment, and operations

3D construction printing only runs reliably on site when the materials, the equipment, and the on-site operations are all designed together. V3D delivers this as a building system that can be deployed in each region. Our ability to make the most of locally sourced materials is a key advantage for commercial deployment in Southeast Asia.

Equipment suited to the site

A simple, rugged structure and off-the-shelf parts make the printer easy to operate, repair, and maintain — so work on site keeps moving. The design helps minimize downtime and keep the printer running.

Locally sourced material design

Locally sourced material design

We combine standard mortar available locally with our proprietary additive, pursuing a material design that doesn't depend on dedicated imported materials. Our aim is a sustainable construction system that makes the most of local resources.

3D construction printing for large-scale buildings

Built for large-scale construction

A large gantry configuration lets us print directly on site, from homes to large-scale buildings.

Key technologies in our proprietary additive

Three tuning technologies that make standard mortar better suited to 3D construction printing.

Rheology control

We balance flowability during extrusion with the buildability needed to hold shape after layering.

Curing-time adjustment

We design a workable material state to match each region's climate, including hot and humid conditions.

Strength design support

We support strength design for the intended use and local conditions, making the material more practical for real-world projects.

Carbon nanomaterial technology

We are researching and developing higher-performance, more environmentally conscious building materials using carbon nanomaterials.

Carbon nanoconcrete

Applying carbon nanomaterials to concrete and mortar, we explore higher-strength materials and the potential to reduce cement content.

Carbon nanoplastic

By combining carbon nanomaterials with recycled plastic fiber, we develop high-performance, environmentally conscious building materials.
