EXEP3D - Excellence Innovation
In Construction Engineering
TTK wants to become the leading competence center for concrete printing in the Baltic States
EXEP3D project
The EXEP3D project focuses on advancing 3D concrete printing technologies and sustainable mixture designs to enhance the scientific and technological capacity of TTK University of Applied Sciences (TTK UAS).
The international project lasts three years and collaboration with leading European universities (Eindhoven University of Technology and Dresden University of Technology), the project aims to position TTK as a European competence center in construction engineering.
New technology for the construction industry
Explore the revolutionary 3D concrete printing technique
“Cooperation with leading universities gives us unique knowledge in the field of 3D concrete printing and development of local mixes. “The project has the potential to renew the entire field of construction technology, providing the Estonian construction industry with a competitive advantage and at the same time supporting European sustainability goals.” said Aivars Alt who is the project manager of EXEP3D.
The project focuses on staff training, partnership building and applied research.
During three years, several study visits, seminars, competitions are conducted and new scientific results are published to support innovation in construction technology.
