Concrete 3D Printing

The Next Revolution in Construction Systems
GET QUOTE

Our mission is to disrupt the global construction industry through world-class 3D robotics and automation. Faster. Better. Cheaper. We work tirelessly to improve printing speed, efficiency, labour needs and material cost to challenge conventional construction with 3D Construction Printing (3DCP).  We firmly believe that 3D construction printing will revolutionize the construction industry due to its ability to expedite the industrialization of the construction process. The objective of constructing a greater number of buildings in a shorter space of time at a lower cost is what fuels our desire to make this technology a commercial success. By adding more intelligent designs and an optimized use of materials to the mix, 3D construction printing can also pave the way for a built environment with greater sustainability. We are excited about the possibilities for many reasons, but our overall mission is to provide the world a tool that will enable governments and contractors the ability to provide profitable housing that will last, yet lower the cost for all.

 

3D Printed Housing & Construction

Build houses 9X faster than traditional construction. Complex shapes used to be expensive or even impossible to build. Until now. With 3DCP, one can create lattice structures (like honeycombs) inside the wall to offer superior strength-to-weight ratios, thermal insulation and lesser material waste. Additionally, contemporary designs for the walls can be achieved like weaved or patterned textures with no additional cost to the process. This includes sheds, fences and walls. 3D printed homes are virtually identical to traditional Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) homes. They are also reinforced in the same manner, which allows us to 3D print strong, hurricane and earthquake resistant homes.

3D Monuments & Landscaping

This technology enables the realization of eyecatcher projects by producing individual architecture which, up until now, could either only be produced with expensive special-made formwork or not at all due to its complex, curved-like structure. Such artistic freedom can create new and contemporary designs for multi purpose shafts/poles, furniture, logos, curved garden walls, benches, counters, planters, interior design and other construction art pieces. The technology offers various patterns and pigmentation to enhance the aesthetics of the product. Such solutions have also demonstrated the ability to integrate plants in a 3D printed structure. Monumental pieces like this can include in its design irrigation, light and drainage components, showing its possibility to integrate living things in a wall, and more generally in the elements of a building, including its walls or furniture.

3D Sustainable Structures

One application of 3DCP is to promote biodiversity by creating sustainable structures with high variability, water paths and air drainage. One such example is 3D artificial reefs designed to integrate a function of habitat and anchoring. This structure takes full advantage of the very high geometric complexity allowed by printing technology at a low cost. In addition, textured concrete resistant to a chemical attack is a material very suitable for this type of application. Above sea level, certain bird habitats need a very specific habitat (artificial tree design) that is difficult to reproduce with traditional techniques because of its complex forms. Thanks to 3D printing and parametric design, it is now possible to include this solution and adapt it to new needs, both aesthetic and practical, without increasing production costs. Tailor-made solutions in the service of ecology are now available.

A 3D Construction Printing Platform for Developers, Architects/Engineers, Contractors

By making 3DCP available to the market, MetaMetry is releasing architects and contractors from the constraints imposed by formwork. They now have the means to design and produce complex concrete architectural & structural elements. Our architects and structural engineers develop efficient and printable 3D models to assist you in the detailed design of specific and complex shapes. We ensure that every printed piece will comply with technical criteria and the applicable standards by implementing strong, consistent quality control measures. Our facility is at the spearhead of the construction industry with Robotic, Waste Management, Energy Consumption Control.

MetaMetry allows you to make the most of your resources. We offer flexible services that are tailor-fit to the requirements of your specific project. Hire the talent you need for the tasks you need completed — no more, and no less. Whether you need an engineer to help design your system and/or part, a 3D modeler to hash out your ideas, or a product designer to help you with the design process throughout, we'll work with you to pair you with the services you need.
