Batch logs and traceability
In Bezannes (Reims area), two identical buildings were constructed: one using robotic 3D printing (Peri 3D Construction) and the other with conventional methods. The project, led by the social housing provider Plurial Novilia, required extensive pre-qualification testing, documentation, and approvals. For the materials workstream, fibo intercon provided a fibo Ink plant to Holcim, focusing on development, testing, and stable production of special concrete for the printed building.
The fibo Ink FS500 delivered a flexible, data-driven setup that made it possible to test, validate, and produce special mixes consistently—directly adjacent to the construction site.
Control, documentation, and scaling — all in one plant
- Reproducibility: When materials change (moisture/temperature/supplier batch), the plant auto-corrects within defined tolerance windows.
- R&D ↔ Production: A single setup can run small test batches and scale to continuous production—so the data carries through.
- Documentation & approvals: Full batch logs reduce friction in ATEx/EX, client requirements, project QA, and third-party audits.
- Collaboration model: fibo intercon provides support (plant design, control logic, sensors, QA set-up, data flow) so teams can co-develop materials in practice.
- Total economics: Fewer waste runs, fewer failed batches, faster ramp-up → lower risk and faster time-to-value.
fibo Special Concrete Technology
The Holcim project shows that fibo SCT is more than a mixing plant: it is a platform for material innovation that connects the laboratory and the construction site with control, documentation, and scalability. 3D printing is one proof point—but the value extends across the full spectrum of special materials.
