Anything,
in stone

Unlocking the most ancient material through science and digital fabrication.

Work with us →Invest in us

A world where stone is an everyday material.

We develop the science, hardware and software that let designers and makers turn their creations into stone.

Stone is natural, durable and found almost everywhere. For stone to be used in everything we make and build, designers must be able to shape it into any form, with the precision and performance their creations need.

    Freedom

    We want designers and makers to be free to shape stone as they imagine it.

The benefits of 3D-printed stone

Printed stone keeps all the benefits of stone, and adds the power of geometry.

  • Strength

    Strength comparable to common structural concrete, placed only where it wants to be.

  • Durability

    All the resilience of the most ancient construction material, in all conditions, indoor and outdoor.

  • Fire

    No resin and no plastic. Our printed stone does not burn and is a great thermal insulator.

  • Comfort

    Stone stores heat and moisture from the air and releases them slowly, keeping indoor conditions steady and comfortable.

  • Acoustics

    Ribbed, hollow and porous forms can be printed to shape how sound is reflected, diffused or absorbed.

  • Circularity

    All our products come mostly from byproduct materials and can be crushed and reused to print new ones.

Applications

Everything stone has ever been,
and anything it can become.
