By combining robotic automation, digital technologies, and low-carbon materials, we make sustainable construction scalable and cost-competitive.
MISSION
New construction generates nearly 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, while the construction industry faces a growing skilled labor shortage. The challenge is not inventing low-carbon materials, but making them scalable, cost-competitive, with a robust supply chain and minimal dependency on skilled labor. Our patent-pending robotic process and deployable factory reduce labor, costs, and carbon emissions by up to 70%, enabling profitable low-carbon construction at scale.
INNOVATION
A scalable manufacturing method
Impact Printing, developed at ETH Zurich, is a proprietary robotic manufacturing process for producing customizable cement-free building components at industrial throughput with locally available mineral materials.
Design-to-manufacturing software
We offer CAD compatible software that translates digital designs directly into robotic instructions, production data, and cost estimates. The manufacturing method enables custom forms, textures and surface treatments.
Augmented process control
We use proprietary machine-vision systems to monitor material state during production, enabling adaptive process control and quality checks, even with variable material inputs.
SOLUTIONS
We produce industrialized modular wall elements made primarily from excavated soil, achieving densities comparable to masonry. Material blends can incorporate 75–80% secondary construction-site material, reaching compressive strengths of up to 5 MPa, depending on formulation. Our printing process enables custom geometries, while wire cutting and milling allow precise detailing and surface finishes. The mineral elements provide fire resistance, thermal inertia, and acoustic comfort, while remaining cost-competitive and compatible with existing prefabrication and timber construction systems.
We offer modular, high-payload robotic production systems that enable prefabrication companies, construction firms, and developers to manufacture low-carbon wall elements at industrial scale. Designed for integration into existing factory environments, the systems can be installed permanently or deployed as temporary, project-based production setups, allowing partners to expand capacity without restructuring established workflows.
We also support partners with factory deployment, system integration, local material qualification, and production operations.

ABOUT
We are a construction technology startup developing robotic building processes for low-carbon, circular construction. Originating from five years of interdisciplinary research at ETH Zurich, our work addresses two of building industry’s biggest challenges: how to build sustainably without increasing costs and how to reduce reliance on scarce skilled labor.
By combining robotics, digital design, and widely available excavated materials, we enable the production of building elements such as interior and exterior walls that are cost-competitive, recyclable, and ready for market-adoption.
