“The Best Way to Predict the Future Is to Invent It.”

The Vision: A World Constructed Through Automation
The Approach
Genesis Dimensions is a research & development company creating a complete building solution that employs software-enabled large-scale 3D printing technologies and mechatronics onsite to transform construction.
Our materials scientists are also developing revolutionary new classes of building materials for 3D printing and other applications. These efforts will yield significant structural integrity, freedom of form, improved safety, and cost/time efficiencies in the building process.
Large Scale 3D Printing In Action
Benefits
Quality
Robots work accurately and repeatedly. Combined with proprietary purpose-engineered building materials, this fusion will raise the bar for quality, integrity, and precision.
Efficiency
Time is money, traditional materials and tools are blunt instruments, people are valuable. Our process will apply the right amount of the right material in the right way, dramatically reducing build time and rework and freeing up precious person-hours from repeatable tasks to more value-added work.
Safety
Repeatable, automated process will mean improved safety. Fewer worksite injuries and lowered liability. Non-toxic, sustainably sourced materials pose lower risk for workers and building inhabitants, and less damage to the surrounding environment.
How to Embed Large Scale 3D Printing Into a Military Setting
Features
Long Reach
We will develop a large-scale 3D printer and appropriate materials to print structures up to 30 m (100 ft) high.
Adjustable Density
We are designing our proprietary print head to adjust print material density on-the-fly from, e.g., 32 kg/m³ (2 lb/ft³) up to 1281 kg/m³ (80 lb/ft³) density.
Mobile Platform
Our print crawler will be designed to be mobile, operating on tracks with an extendable robotic arm to reach, all with 1 mm (0.039 in) expected accuracy.
