Industrial Scale · Discipline 02

Forty metres.
One print.

Large-Scale Additive ManufacturingThe scale of architecture, the resolution of a print.

Large-Scale Additive Manufacturing

Overview

Our large-format cells print elements up to 40 meters in a single, continuous run. That means fewer joints, no fasteners and geometry that traditional fabrication cannot produce economically.

Engagement

Scale
Up to 40 m single element
Lead time
8 – 16 weeks
Materials
Mineral composite · Recycled polymer · TPE · Bio-composite

Capabilities

What we do.

  • Print envelopes up to 12 × 6 × 6 m per cell
  • Continuous multi-cell printing to 40 m
  • Non-planar, spatial toolpaths
  • Real-time thermal and geometry monitoring

Deliverables

What you receive.

  • Toolpath simulations
  • Print samples at 1:1 fidelity
  • Finished elements, crated and shipped

Process

How this discipline is made.

  1. Step 01

    Cell allocation

    The element is planned across one or several print cells running in sequence with live handoff.

  2. Step 02

    Continuous run

    Multi-day prints run under thermal and geometric telemetry — no operator judgement in the loop.

  3. Step 03

    Rigging & ship

    Each element is rigged for its exact centre of mass and shipped on a bespoke cradle.

Questions

Asked often.

How is quality controlled at scale?
Each print is monitored layer-by-layer with vision systems that flag deviations in real time.
Can prints be joined on site?
Yes — we design invisible or expressive joints depending on the aesthetic intent.
How do you ship 40-metre elements?
By modal freight with police escort where required; we manage the transport plan end-to-end.
Is there a minimum project size?
Below 4 m² per element, we typically point clients toward our furniture or retail programs instead.
