EXEP3D – Concrete Printing for the Future

Introduction to EXEP3D

The goal of the EXEP3D project is to expand the construction engineering skills of Institute of Civil Engineering of TTK UAS, transfer knowledge and increase innovation capacity with the aim of becoming a leading competence center in Estonia and Europe, specifically in the field of 3D concrete printing (3DCP) and locally produced sustainable mixtures

Core Messages

  1. Innovating the construction industry with 3D printing to enhance productivity and sustainability.
  2. Reducing resource waste and carbon emissions through advanced concrete technologies.
  3. Bridging the gap between academia and industry to foster practical solutions for modern construction challenges.
“The EXEP3D project is an important step in the development of Estonian construction technology, because it brings us closer to more sustainable and efficient solutions that can be implemented both in Estonia and at the international level,”
