From parameter to product

Our robotic arms build complex shapes in special mortars, with high precision and minimal material. We own the entire digital chain.

The Neolithic Robotic method

Four building blocks

Together they form a workflow in which design, price and production are directly linked.

Product development

Our designers develop solutions specifically for construction and infrastructure.

Digital warehouse

An online library of parametric products, ready to customise.

Configure-to-order

Automated pricing and a cloud slicer: from choice to production file.

Off-site robotic hub

In-house production in Haarlem, with plans to expand through a network of hubs.

The process

Three steps, one digital thread

Parametric design

Every product is a smart model. Change size, angle or connection and the design recalculates itself. Our online configurator shows the result instantly.

In-house toolpath & G-code

We generate the robot paths ourselves, optimising strength, shape and material use for every product.

In-house softwareMaterial optimisation

Robotic and digital production

Industrial robots build up layer by layer in special mortars. High precision, repeatable, no moulds.

Special mortarsUp to 3 x 3 x 3 metres

Our method is called Robotic Additive Construction. Also known as 3D concrete printing or 3DCP. More about 3D concrete printing

Benefits

Why build with robots?

Custom as standard

Configurable models instead of static drawings. Customising adds no production cost.

Small and medium series

From a single unique piece to series of 100+ elements.

Fast delivery

Prefab elements made in hours rather than weeks.

Less material

We only print where the structure needs it and without reinforcement. That saves ± 40-60% material per product and improves the MKI.

Just-in-time

We produce what is needed, when it is needed. No overproduction.

Easy installation

Modular, numbered elements that are quickly in place.

Decarbonisation

Robotics as a driver for low-carbon construction

Lower emissions in construction start with the way things are made. By combining robots with special mortars, we only use material where it is structurally needed, without reinforcement.

  • Smart, optimised shapes that need significantly less material
  • No formwork that ends up as waste, and minimal residual waste in production
  • More efficient processes and less heavy manual work, so safer working on site
  • More freedom of form for architects, designers and planners
