Sustainable building using robots and local materials
Impact.build develops robotic manufacturing that transforms local mineral materials, such as excavated soil, into climate-friendly building components. The technology reduces emissions, waste and reliance on scarce skilled labour and makes sustainable construction more affordable.
The construction sector is responsible for around 37% of global CO₂ emissions. impact.build is developing a new way to manufacture sustainable building components using robots and locally available materials such as excavated soil and other mineral resources.
We have developed the so-called “Impact Printing process”, which unlike 3D printing or conventional construction methods, processes the material without chemical accelerators, Instead, a robot deposits the material at high speed. Upon impact, it compacts to form strong building components.
At our booth, visitors can see a prototype produced with our patented technology up close. We will show you how robots can transform local materials into climate-friendly building products. You’ll also learn how the technology can strengthen regional material cycles and make sensible use of valuable raw materials.
impact.build makes construction more sustainable through robotics and digital manufacturing. The technology helps to reduce emissions, waste, make better use of local recoureces and alleviate the growing shortage of scarce skilled workers in the construction industry.
