Lamina is streamlining concrete 3D printing with an integrated design-to-fabrication software platform.

  • Lamina is an integrated design-to-fabricate software platform for concrete 3D printing, delivering value to architects and builders through four core capabilities:

    • Flags clashes between the architectural design and the selected printer's constraints before fabrication begins.
    • Segments and schedules the print across working days, enabling reliable project planning and site management.
    • Calculates concrete volume and printing time per segment, providing a direct basis for cost estimation.
    • Gives architects real-time feedback on printability issues, enabling design adjustments before committing to fabrication.
  • Concrete 3D printing (3DPC) promises faster, cheaper construction — but architects lack tools to design for it, builders manage planning manually, and errors are typically discovered late in fabrication when fixes are most costly. The result: wasted material, blown-out timelines and eroded margins.

    • Architects and design firms exploring or actively designing for concrete 3D printing.
    • 3DCP contractors and builders seeking to streamline print planning.
    • AU$5M grant to develop and validate Lamina on live 3DCP house build.
    • Two signed MOUs with international companies in Dubai (Guanli Technology and 3DVinci).
    • Development and construction of a bio-shelter at the former Sydney fish market site as part of a NSW development project.
Why invest
Australia's housing crisis is accelerating demand for faster construction methods. Concrete 3D printing is proven and scaling, but adoption is bottlenecked by the absence of accessible design software.
