Concr3de builds powder-based 3D printers for research, industry, and construction, utilising binder jetting technology to print complex parts of any size, enabling research institutes to develop novel materials, customising print settings to work with powder-based materials. Its materials list include technical ceramics, stone, foundry sands, refractory cement, and biobased materials like 3D-printed wood. It offers non-toxic, biocompatible, and recyclable binder options, promoting sustainability by upcycling waste materials and enabling scalable production.
CONCR3DE pairs validated powder-and-binder formulations with optimised hardware to meet requirements such as functional strength, aesthetics, outdoor durability, biocompatibility, and heat or electrical resistance. Unused powder can be recycled into subsequent prints, while selected waste streams—including marble dust and sawdust—can be upcycled into new products. Using the same technology platform, customers can progress from small-scale testing to industrial components, large moulds and façade-sized architectural elements.
1) ARMADILLO WHITE – FOR RESEARCHERS, BY RESEARCHERS
Armadillo White was designed to help material researchers and scientists explore the full potential of additive manufacturing. This modular, accessible platform can use any available CONCR3DE powder or binder – but invites you to create new standards and novel applications. Every single setting, from speed to saturation and from the binder droplet size and shape to UV- or infrared curing options – Armadillo White gives you full control over the 3D printing process and results.
2) ARMADILLO BLUE – THE STANDARD FOR INDUSTRY & HIGH-TECH
Armadillo Blue is the most cost-effective production platform to create high-quality products and parts in materials like technical ceramics and metals. This printer is compatible with CONCR3DE binders for printing metal or ceramic materials and features several additional modules that make it highly suitable for high tech materials and applications It offers a large workspace based on our high precision jetting system and comes with our intuitive open software.
3) ARMADILLO GRAY – STONE AND MINERAL PRINTING
Armadillo Gray allows you to print a wide range of stone and concrete materials using readily available powders and binders. This printer was designed for production runs with smaller objects. It is also exceptionally well suited to perform low volume tests or sample prints in conjunction with our large-scale printer options. Armadillo Gray features all the add-ons we came to know as indispensable for efficiently printing high-quality objects.
4) ELEPHANT GRAY – LARGE-SCALE STONE PRINTING
Elephant Gray is an industrial large-scale binder jetting 3D printer used for high precision production of stone objects. This fully autonomous, proprietary production system uses a recoater and an array of printheads for single pass accurate jetting of an aqueous binder on a mineral powder bed. CONCR3DE Elephant Gray is compatible with CONCR3DE stone-based materials and binders and makes it possible to cost-effectively produce objects up to 2 x 1 x 1 meters in size – or including many smaller or unique parts in a single print run. Our smart depowdering and post-processing solutions allow Elephant to be the heart of a dust-free integral production process.
