Top Speed with High Precision
To keep costs down, we had to achieve an intense performance goal.
Our system today can fabricate a volume of 10m³ (one printing job) in 6 hours, which is by far the most high-performance 3D-printer in the world, without even considering the resolution of up to 1 millimeter.
Downtime between jobs is almost nullified, as build platforms are changed in an instant.
The novel SCA process is similar to binder jetting in the manufacturing process. A layer of ECONIT powder is applied in the building chamber via a roller.
Closing the Digital Chain
Designs are transferred to reality by the press of a button. By using powder bed technology, we achieve real freedom of form, exactly like planned.
This is the basis for innovative design solutions that can make a real difference for our built environment.

0-waste production
The powder bed gets reused for later batches, while finished parts can be used in the raw or undergo surface treatment.

A Hungry Beast
The faster the system – the more food it needs. Our machine can devour the volume of our 12 silos easily in 10 days.

Material Magic
Econit is a novel sustainable material system at the intersection of additive manufacturing and building construction.
As a base material, econit can bind a wide variety of aggregates, even in large quantities, and through targeted admixing gains a variety of aesthetic, functional, and technical properties.
Examples of aggregates are sand, brick chippings, expanded clay and expanded glass granulate, fireclay, recycled earth, and natural materials such as wood chips.
The ECONIT base material can bind a wide variety of aggregates, even in large quantities, and gains different material properties from each material admixture.
