Why do innovative architectural ideas struggle with traditional construction?

A closer look at interior wall construction when geometry stops being simple.

Complex interior geometry looks great on drawings

But translating it into traditional construction is where projects start to bleed time and coordination.

• Curves

• Recesses

• Variable thicknesses

• Tight tolerances

This is where Traditional construction struggles

Each change multiplies cost and delay.

• Custom formwork for every variation

• High labor dependency

• Tolerance stacking across trades

• On-site adjustments that weren’t

• in the drawings

The real cost isn’t the wall. It’s the coordination.

• Structural + finishing treated as separate scopes

• Rework during installation

• Design intent diluted during execution

This same wall can be 3D printed as one continuous system

What you design is what gets built.

• Geometry-driven, not formwork-driven

• Digitally controlled tolerances

• Minimal on-site intervention

Less compromise. More certainty.

• Complex forms without construction gymnastics

• Predictable execution timelines

• Design freedom without exponential risk

Thinking of using complex geometry in your project?

We work with designers and architects early to assess what makes sense to print, what doesn’t, and why.
