CO₂-Optimized 3D Concrete Printing in Oelde – Automated, Efficient, and Future-Oriented
Published on February 7, 2025
In Oelde (North Rhine-Westphalia), we have successfully completed our latest project: a 45-meter-long wall made of high-quality, CO₂-optimized concrete, realized with 3D concrete printing to achieve exceptional smoothness and efficiency. Thanks to our new 10-cm print head, we reached a height of 1.80 meters with optimized handling and minimal material usage.
For the print, we use specially developed concrete mixes with less than 200 kg CO₂ per cubic meter, significantly lower than the carbon footprint of conventional building materials such as sand-lime brick. Combined with fully automated 3D printing technology, this approach enables not only resource-efficient construction but also paves the way for the future of building: precise, sustainable, and highly productive.
A special thanks goes to Heidelberg Materials, whose high-performance, sustainable printing concrete made the outstanding print quality and wall strength possible. By collaborating with strong partners, we demonstrate how 3D concrete printing, automation, and digital construction processes can transform the construction industry.
Our goal remains to continuously increase efficiency and sustainability in 3D concrete printing, conserve material resources, and set new standards for innovative and CO₂-optimized building. We look forward to upcoming challenges and to actively shaping the future of construction.
