KARLOS, the innovative large-scale robot, is nothing less than the future of construction. With our technology, we erect concrete walls efficiently and economically directly from the 3D printer. Our pioneering technology enables the rapid construction of concrete walls without conventional formwork - and with classic standard concrete.

The true magic of KARLOS lies in its ability to use the 85+ feet (26 m) robotic arm as a large-capacity robot with unprecedented precision of just a few millimetres anywhere. State-of-the-art, bidirectional BIM planning software is used to map the contour to be printed and print it based on the 3D planning.

KARLOS not only revolutionizes the construction process, but also creates a bridge between the digital and physical worlds in the construction industry. The precision, efficiency and integration of technologies make this large-scale robot a key player in the evolution of the construction industry towards a digitalized, efficient and sustainable future.

KARLOS combines the flexibility and robustness of a mobile concrete pump with precision placing robot technology, which reduces set-up times on the construction site and enables a highly automated construction process.

This advanced combination not only reduces manual labor and safety risks on site, but also significantly speeds up the construction process compared to conventional methods. Using our innovative control technology, the operator becomes the conductor of one of the largest construction site robots. In this way, we are creating a new, future-proof job profile. KARLOS significantly increases the productivity of the construction industry and ensures that construction projects are completed quickly, reliably and cost-effectively.

By using standard concrete with a maximum grain size of 3/8" (8 mm), which can be obtained from conventional ready-mix concrete plants, KARLOS offers enormous potential in terms of the cost-effectiveness of the manufacturing process, reducing costs by over 60% compared to other 3D printing processes.

The focus is also on sustainability: KARLOS works fully electrically and with low emissions on the construction site. This technology even enables the use of CO2-reduced concrete mixes, which makes an important contribution to environmental protection. With KARLOS, we are revolutionizing the construction of concrete walls - fast, efficient and environmentally friendly. In addition, precise digital planning and implementation increases material efficiency and reduces waste to a minimum. With 3D concrete printing, only the material that is actually needed is used and at the same time significant logistics costs are saved compared to traditional construction methods.

With Karlos, we are putting an end to folding and filing plans on the construction site. Instead, our approach is based on complete integration into digitalized BIM planning processes. Our digital planning approach is directly linked to the BIM building model and uses an intelligent software solution to generate the machine code.

The information generated during printing is then fed back into the overall BIM model. This creates a digital twin of the resulting building, which is continuously updated with real-time data. This means that information generated during printing can be made available to all process participants in the planning process.
