A 3D printer with a maximum of 100 m concrete height Building

IT House News on June 4th, Australian robots and 3D printing company Luyten released the Global First Robot Tower Hanger Platform “Ascend”. The platform was able to complete concrete construction up to 100 metres, with the goal of providing faster and more efficient solutions for high-rise, multi-storey, infrastructure and advanced automated construction.

The system combines tower crane structures, robotics, large-scale 3D concrete printing, AI and digital construction work streams, directly referring to the challenges of labour shortages, rising housing demand, production efficiency pressures and waste of materials in the construction sector.

Dr. Luyten, founder and CEO Ahmed Mahil, stressed: “Ascend is not just about being a new concrete 3D printer, which transforms one of the most important machines in the construction industry into a robotic manufacturing system that can be built directly from digital design.”

Mahl notes that the construction industry has been trying to automate the tower for decades, and Luyten has chosen a different path -- turning the tower itself into a robot. Ascend has a working radius of 45 metres and a support structure of up to 100 metres and can be installed and debugged within one or two days, significantly reducing the deployment time of large-scale projects.

The system aims to reduce reliance on labour through automated construction processes, while minimizing template requirements and increasing material utilization.

Ascend relies on AI to generate print paths, optimize construction workflows and monitor progress in real time. The IT House has been officially informed that printers are also integrated with the Luyten wider digitally constructed ecosystem, using the Ultimateche, which is designed for large-scale enrichment, to print concrete material with high-intensity, controlled flow properties and improved inter-story bindings for multi-layer structures.

In Luyten, it appears that the adoption of technology in the construction sector can be speeded up by automating on the basis of equipment already familiar in the industry. Mahil believes that the impact on housing delivery, infrastructure development and building efficiency would be significant even if a very small proportion of the existing towers were converted into robotic construction systems.
