What It Is

A field-deployable, pallet-scale concrete 3D printer based on a scaled Cartesian dual-Y belt-pinion architecture with quad-Z self-tramming. Designed for robust performance in dusty construction environments with a lightweight printhead (~1.5 kg) and V-groove motion system. Target system cost under $5,000.

Why Open Source

The concrete 3D printing industry moves faster when hardware isn't a barrier. M3-CRETE is released openly so researchers, universities, and contractors can build, modify, and improve on a validated baseline — while pairing with CEMFORGE™ for AI-optimized mix design.

// 03
CEMFORGE™ Integration

M3-CRETE is designed to run formulations generated by the CEMFORGE™ platform — trained exclusively on 3D-printed cementitious specimen data, generating printability and mechanical property predictions purpose-built for additive construction. The hardware and formulation platform are designed to work together.
