Vertico
Vertico is a concrete 3D printing supplier that pairs six-axis robotic gantries, printheads, pumps, and control software including Vertico Slicer with Rhino and Grasshopper integration for architects and contractors running additive concrete projects.
Product pages outline an end-to-end stack: silos, pumps, accelerant dosing, heated printbeds, robot controllers, and robots sized from portable cabins up to ten-metre track-mounted cells. The software section advertises license-free Vertico Slicer tied to Rhino and Grasshopper for toolpath preparation, plus an HMI layer for machine control (Vertico, 2026).
Case studies on vertico.xyz include bridges, vault experiments, and furniture-scale prints, showing how the same ecosystem spans research lab, education, and full-scale yard production. Geography is worldwide, with reference installs listed across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia on the company page.
Hardware differentiation focuses on Accelerator and Standard printheads, multiple robot form factors, and optional lab or education cells for universities. Buyers still bring their own structural analysis and reinforcement design; Vertico supplies the printing mechanics and slicing path from CAD geometry.
Commercial terms are quote-driven, with buyer guides and downloadable catalogues rather than public list pricing. Expect integration work between your BIM geometry exports, Grasshopper definitions, and the slicer workflow the vendor documents online.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Explicit CAD pathway through Rhino and Grasshopper rather than a closed black box.
- Wide hardware ladder from education cells to large track gantry systems.
- Published PDF catalogues and a buyer guide for equipment selection.
Cons
- Rhino-centred workflow may require new skills if your studio lives only in Revit.
- No public price list; budgeting needs direct sales contact.
- Structural engineering for printed concrete remains a separate discipline.

Frequently asked questions
Which CAD tools does Vertico support?
Marketing pages highlight Rhino with Grasshopper feeding Vertico Slicer. Other CAD tools may export geometry, but the documented path is through that ecosystem.
What is Vertico Slicer?
It is the vendor?s slicing application for turning surface and solid models into concrete print paths. The site describes it as license-free and integrated with Grasshopper for parametric control.
Does Vertico sell only software?
No. Vertico sells integrated hardware such as robots, printheads, pumps, and silos, with software for control and slicing.
Where does Vertico operate?
The company page lists reference sites across many countries, with emphasis on Europe and North America. Confirm service technicians for your region before purchase.
Can Vertico print structural walls for buildings?
Project pages show large-scale prints, but structural acceptance depends on your engineer, codes, and reinforcement detailing. Vertico provides the printing platform, not stamped structural calculations.
How do I request pricing?
Use the contact form, buyer guide, or catalogue downloads on vertico.xyz. Expect custom quotes that bundle robot size, printhead choice, and training.
