A robot that lays walls,
right on site.

Europe's construction sector needs roughly two million more workers by 2030, driven by renovation targets, climate-adaptation projects, and a workforce that keeps getting older. Demand is rising faster than the industry can staff it.

The work hit hardest is often the least skilled and most physically wearing: pouring long, repetitive runs of concrete wall, by hand, on uneven ground, in the rain. It's the kind of job that stays open even when the pay is decent, because fewer people want to do it.

ERLEtek's printer travels to the job site instead of the job site coming to a factory. It sets up next to the wall it needs to build, reads the terrain underneath it, and prints in place using a vibration-based process that works with both concrete and clay-based mixes.

A human crew still runs the site. The robot takes the part of the job that's long, straight or curved, and repetitive, so skilled workers spend their time on the parts that need judgment.
