What concr3de BV does

CONCR3DE B.V. is a Rotterdam-based (headquartered at RDM in the Rotterdam harbor district, with a registered address in Gouda) high-tech manufacturing scale-up founded in 2016 by two architects — co-founders Eric Geboers (CEO) and Matteo Baldassari (CTO) — to commercialize proprietary binder jetting 3D printing technology. The company designs, manufactures, and sells modular powder-based 3D printers under the Armadillo (research to industrial scale, including White, Gray, Green, and Blue variants) and Elephant (large-scale Gray and Blue) product lines, with a patented method enabling mold fabrication up to 6 x 3 x 1 meters at 0.3 mm tolerance. CONCR3DE supports one of the widest material portfolios in binder jetting — stone (marble, granite, limestone), technical ceramics (silicon carbide, alumina), foundry sands, refractory cement, metals, and bio-based/upcycled waste streams — backed by seven proprietary binder formulations and a vertically integrated in-house NOAH print preparation software, plus post-processing equipment such as the Depowdering Station with closed-loop powder recovery.

The company's go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales to industrial, high-tech, construction, and design customers (including multinationals such as Hutchinson, Stahlton Bauteile AG, and Die Mansers), inside sales via an upload-based Print Service portal, product-led growth through the open Armadillo White R&D platform, and a growing network of certified distribution and Print Service Partners covering the UK, India, Europe, the UAE, the Netherlands, and Portugal. Revenue is generated from one-time hardware sales (with 40/30/30 milestone payments), recurring consumables (binders, certified powders), transaction-based Print Service fees, subscription/maintenance contracts, and bespoke Development Services including co-production and process optimization.

CONCR3DE is privately held with approximately 20 employees, no disclosed external funding, and a customer base spanning construction, aerospace, motorsport, defense, biomedical, foundry, and product design. Strategic emphasis is on industrializing upcycled-waste and large-scale architectural binder jetting, supported by a 2023–2025 product cadence (Armadillo Green, Elephant Gray, Washout materials, Investment Casting cores, next-generation Depowdering Station) and an August 2025 facility expansion in Rotterdam.
