Greenfield Residency 2026 | Results

We have our winners!

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Ioanna Symeonidou and her team from the University of Thessaly .of.Thessaly to Vertico later this year.

Their project explores something we haven’t tried before: 3D printing transparent concrete.Together, we’ll investigate what is possible, what limitations we encounter, and which fabrication strategies could work. We’ll experiment with the relationship between concrete, light and shadow, and see where robotic fabrication can take the idea.

We were especially happy to see students actively involved in the project and look forward to bringing the research into our facility for full-scale experimentation.

A huge thank you to everyone who applied for the Greenfield Residency 2026.

This year we received so many thoughtful and ambitious proposals from all over the world. We spent a lot of time discussing the projects as a team, and making the final decision was definitely not easy.

We truly appreciate the time and effort that went into every application.

Our Largest Installation Yet | Portugal

A new milestone for Vertico.

We’re proud to announce the installation of our largest system delivered to date at Itecons in Portugal, an institute dedicated to applied research, testing, and innovation in construction, energy, environmen and sustainability. As a bridge between academia and industry, ITeCons develops new construction technologies and supports research into innovative building materials and systems, making it an exciting place for advanced concrete printing.

The installation features our Robot on Track system with a 10-meter track and a 3.1-meter robot reach, giving the team the flexibility to produce large-scale concrete elements.

To celebrate the installation, we also reached a new Vertico milestone by printing our tallest column yet at 3 meters high.

We’re excited to see more researchers, students, and industry partners gain access to this technology and explore what is possible with large-scale 3D concrete printing.

A big thank you to the ITeCons team for the collaboration. We wish you many successful prints and look forward to seeing the innovative projects that will come out of your new lab.

Behind the Layers | DASA Wall in the Making

Ever wondered what it takes to print a concrete wall with a unique design?
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the fabrication of our demonstrator for the Working World Exhibition in Dortmund.

Using our Accelerator Printhead, the concrete gains strength almost immediately after extrusion, making it possible to print deep overhangs, complex textures, and smooth transitions in a single continuous process. Combined with our integrated color station, each layer can also be precisely colored as it is printed.

The result is a wall with two distinct personalities: a clean, minimal exterior and a highly articulated interior that showcases what accelerated 2K concrete printing makes possible.

If you’re visiting DASA, don’t forget to stop by and see the final piece in person.

Last Chance to Apply | Greenfield Residency 2026

Time is running out! This is the last week to submit your application for the Vertico Greenfield Residency 2026.

If you’re a professor, assistant professor, or studio supervisor, this is your opportunity to give your students hands on experience with industrial robotic fabrication and turn research ideas into full scale prototypes.

Whether your project explores 3D concrete printing, robotic milling, clay printing, or another experimental fabrication process, we welcome innovative proposals that make meaningful use of robotics.

Over the past editions, Greenfield has brought together academic teams from Egypt, Turkey, Germany, and the United States, resulting in exciting collaborations and full scale research projects.

📅 Application deadline: July 26, 2026

Visit our website for full details, eligibility requirements, and the application form.
We look forward to seeing your ideas!

Printing a Living Wall | Behind the Process

This prototype, developed in collaboration with HKS and , explores how 3D printing can create architectural surfaces that are both structurally efficient and biologically active.

At first glance, the folds and pockets appear to be designed purely for plants. In reality, they serve another purpose as well. One of the key goals of this prototype was to understand how tangent folds can increase rigidity and structural performance, allowing shallow overhangs to be printed without additional reinforcement.

The geometry creates a network of planting pockets connected by recessed channels designed to transport water and nutrients throughout the wall. At the same time, the folds strengthen the structure, demonstrating how geometry can contribute to both environmental function and structural stability.

Projects like this highlight one of the most exciting aspects of concrete 3D printing: the ability to combine multiple functions into a single printed element, where structure, planting, and architectural expression become one integrated system.

Project developed through HKS | LINE research and a Biodigital Making course led by at Woodbury University.

Greenfield Residency | Human & Robot in Sync

As part of the Greenfield Residency, students from in Berlin under the supervision of developed a pavilion prototype that explores how robotic concrete printing can create engaging social spaces.

The pavilion is composed of just two repeating elements. When assembled, they form a semi-enclosed space that naturally invites people to sit, meet, and have conversations.

The shingles are inserted directly during printing and feature openings that allow the concrete layers to bond together. It’s a simple detail that makes the assembly possible while showcasing collaboration between robot and operator.

This project perfectly reflects what the Greenfield Residency is all about: giving academic teams access to industrial robotic technology and the opportunity to test ambitious ideas at full scale. Watching a concept evolve from a digital model into a built space is an experience that simply can’t be replicated in the classroom.

Applications are now open | Greenfield Residency 2026

Every year, we open the doors of our workshop to academic teams from around the world.

The Greenfield Residency was created for professors, assistant professors, and studio supervisors who want to give their students something that many universities simply can’t offer: hands-on experience with industrial robotic fabrication.

For one week, selected teams work alongside the Vertico team, transforming research ideas into full-scale prototypes using our robotic systems. Whether your project explores 3D concrete printing, robotic milling, clay printing, or another experimental fabrication process, we welcome innovative proposals that make meaningful use of robotics.

Over the past editions, Greenfield has brought together universities from Egypt, Turkey, Germany, and the United States, leading to exciting collaborations and full-scale research projects.

Application deadline: July 26, 2026

OPENCALL | Greenfield Residency 2026

Vertico is excited to announce the third edition of the Greenfield Residency, our annual Open Call for academic institutions looking to bring innovative research and design projects into physical reality.

The residency was created to provide students with access to technologies they may not normally have the opportunity to use. Selected teams will spend a week at our facility in Eindhoven, working directly with industrial robotic systems and gaining hands-on experience in advanced manufacturing.

While many projects make use of our 3D concrete printing technology, the residency is not limited to concrete. We welcome proposals that explore robotic fabrication in a broader sense. If your project requires robotics, we would love to hear about it.

Previous winners include the Responsive Ground Research Lab from Gebze Teknik Topluluğu Gebze Technical University and Işık Üniversitesi Isik University. The quality of submissions has been so high that two additional teams from German International University - giuberlin in Berlin and Woodbury University Woodbury University also went on to complete smaller residencies with Vertico.

Our goal remains simple: to open our workshop to ambitious students, researchers, and educators, creating opportunities for innovation, learning, experimentation, and collaboration.

Registration deadline: July 26th, 2026 (max 500 word statement)
Production week: First week of November 2026 (flexible)
