BUILDING WITH
3D CONCRETE PRINTING
Build faster. Solve labor shortages. Future-proof your business.
3D concrete printing is changing how structural walls are built. Using mobile construction robotics, walls are printed directly on-site – faster, more precisely and with significantly fewer workers than conventional masonry construction.
For contractors, developers and planners, 3D concrete printing is a practical solution to today’s biggest challenges: skilled labor shortages, rising construction costs and increasing schedule pressure. Projects can be completed faster while improving productivity, quality and planning reliability.
One of the key advantages of 3D concrete printing is that existing building designs can typically be used without modification. Our software converts conventional masonry designs into print-ready data, allowing projects to move into production without redesigning the building.
Depending on your project, we support you:
- as your 3D concrete printing technology partner,
- by integrating 3D concrete printing into your existing construction process,
- or by delivering a complete solution for automated structural wall construction.
With 3D concrete printing, buildings can be completed up to four times faster, with smaller crews, consistent quality and a fully digital construction process from planning to execution.
3D CONCRETE PRINTING AT INDUSTRIAL SCALE
The INSTATIQ P1 (Progress One) brings 3D concrete printing to real construction sites. Designed for industrial use, it prints structural concrete walls directly on-site—quickly, precisely and without formwork.
Using locally available ready-mix concrete, the system combines a robotic reach of up to 26 meters with millimeter-level precision, enabling contractors to build faster, reduce manual work and complete projects more efficiently.
From digital planning to robotic execution, every step is seamlessly connected. This integrated workflow makes 3D concrete printing a reliable and scalable construction method for residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Labor Shortages. Rising Costs. New Solutions. 3D Concrete Printing for Structural Construction
Whether you’re a general contractor, developer, architect or structural engineer, today’s construction projects face increasing challenges. Skilled labor is becoming harder to find, costs continue to rise, and project schedules are under constant pressure.
Many companies face the same obstacles:
- Skilled labor shortages limiting capacity and growth
- High dependency on subcontractors
- Complex coordination between design and construction
- High formwork, material and labor costs
- Increasing schedule and cost pressure
- Growing requirements for resource efficiency and documentation
3D concrete printing connects digital planning directly with automated construction. By reducing manual work, simplifying on-site processes and minimizing interfaces, it enables a more efficient, predictable and scalable approach to structural concrete construction.

The result is a practical solution for contractors, developers, architects and engineers looking to simplify construction processes, increase productivity and build more efficiently at industrial scale.
SOLUTION &
CONCEPT
INSTATIQ – Rethinking 3D Concrete Printing
INSTATIQ combines 3D concrete printing, construction robotics and digital construction into one integrated construction process. Using standard ready-mix concrete, our technology prints load-bearing concrete walls directly on the construction site – without conventional formwork
At the heart of the system is the INSTATIQ P1, a mobile 3D concrete printer with a reach of up to 26 meters and millimeter-accurate positioning. Designed for real-world construction sites, it enables efficient concrete construction for residential, commercial and industrial projects.
The process begins with Building Information Modeling (BIM). Digital building models are automatically converted into optimized print paths and executed by construction robotics on site. The result is a seamless digital workflow – from planning and production to quality assurance and documentation.
By connecting digital planning with automated execution, INSTATIQ makes construction faster, more predictable and more resource-efficient – bringing 3D concrete printing to industrial scale.
3D concrete printing significantly reduces construction time compared to conventional building methods. Automated execution minimizes delays caused by labor shortages and improves schedule reliability, helping projects stay on time and on budget.
By reducing labor requirements, material consumption and construction time, 3D concrete printing addresses three of the largest cost drivers in construction. Printing directly with standard ready-mix concrete eliminates conventional formwork and improves cost predictability throughout the project.
The mobile INSTATIQ P1 integrates seamlessly into existing concrete construction workflows. Once on site, printing can begin immediately without fixed foundations or conventional formwork. Automated execution reduces manual work while improving safety and consistency.
INSTATIQ prints with locally available standard ready-mix concrete, enabling cost-efficient construction while allowing concrete mixes to be adapted to regional requirements. Combined with fully electric operation and low-carbon concrete, the system helps reduce the environmental impact of construction.
Paper drawings and manual documentation are replaced by a fully digital process. Machine code is generated directly from the BIM model, while production data is automatically captured during printing and fed back into the digital project model. This creates complete transparency and traceability throughout the construction process.
