3D printed building element from concrete and hemp. Topologically optmises. Material efficient

Durable, lightweight and energy efficient building elements

  • Fully customized designs that are strong, durable, and tailored to the needs of each project.

  • Lightweight construction that helps reduce the amount of concrete needed for foundations.

  • Cuts down on steel and material usage by up to 70%, making construction more sustainable and cost-effective.

  • Hempcrete offers a high R-value, ensuring superior thermal insulation and energy efficiency for a comfortable living environment.

  • With Ekofab, your designs are 3D print-ready, allowing for seamless, on-demand construction. This eliminates delays and accelerates the transition from design to build, saving time and improving efficiency.

Patented manufacturing process

The simple and efficient 3D printing process with clay.

  • Clay is much easier to print with compared to concrete. It flows smoothly, without the risk of material clogging in the pipes, unlike concrete, which hardens quickly and can cause blockages.

  • Clay printing allows for easier maintenance and cleaning of the printing equipment, avoiding the issues of hardened concrete clogging pipes and machinery.

  • Clay is widely available, abundant, and sustainable, making it a perfect choice for large-scale 3D printing without resource constraints.

  • Unlike concrete, which can be difficult to control during printing, clay is a material that builders and architects are familiar with, making it easier to work with and ensuring consistent results.
