Interior wall for Encofrados Alsina

Manufacturing of two interior walls composed of 3D printed concrete modules, developed for Additive Spaces at the Encofrados Alsina facilities.

Context

From a complex design to an executable construction system

The project consisted of manufacturing two interior walls made up of 17 modules each, intended for the machine room at Encofrados Alsina’s facilities in Montcada i Reixac.

The formal design was provided by the client, while Aridditive was responsible for manufacturing through 3D concrete printing and materializing the construction system. The intervention focuses on the ability to turn a singular geometry into real, assembleable pieces suitable for on-site installation.

Intervention

Two modular walls in 3D printed concrete

34 modules manufactured Two walls made up of 17 pieces each, conceived as a repeatable and assembleable modular system.
Industrial interior use Installation planned for the machine room, in a technical environment where the piece needed to combine formal presence and construction logic.
Manufactured in 8 days Agile production through 3D concrete printing, without the need for specific molds for each geometry.
Construction system

An interior wall designed as a system, not as isolated pieces

Beyond printing the modules, the project required transforming a complex geometry into a stable, aligned set suitable for assembly. To achieve this, an interlocking system between pieces was defined to facilitate visual continuity and the correct positioning of each module within the wall.

On the rear face, the modules incorporate structural ribs designed for subsequent filling, allowing the set to work as a single block once installed. This solution combines digital design, additive manufacturing and construction logic.

The result is an interior piece with a clear sculptural presence, developed from technical criteria: modulation, fitting, stability, assembly and repeatability.

Project takeaways

Interior architecture, modulation and advanced manufacturing

A project where 3D concrete printing is used to deliver an interior architectural piece with formal identity and construction criteria.

01

Complex geometry

The system makes it possible to materialize an interior surface with depth, texture and formal variation without depending on conventional formwork.

02

Modular system

The two walls are resolved through printed modules that are assembled to generate visual continuity and joint structural behaviour.

03

Fast execution

Manufacturing in 8 days demonstrates the capacity of 3D printing to accelerate singular pieces without penalizing customization.

Process

From digital file to installed wall

A process focused on turning a formal design into a manufacturable, transportable and installable system.

01

Design reception

Analysis of the geometry provided by the client and definition of manufacturing criteria.

02

System modulation

Division of the wall into printable modules, controlling connections, visual continuity and assembly feasibility.

03

3D printing

Manufacturing of 34 pieces through 3D concrete printing, controlling geometry and finish piece by piece.

04

Assembly and installation

Interlocking system and rear ribs to facilitate alignment, filling and joint behaviour of the wall.

Result

An interior wall with technical and material presence

The project demonstrates how 3D concrete printing can be applied beyond urban furniture, opening new possibilities for interior walls, technical partitions, showrooms, corporate spaces and highly customized architectural elements.

The piece combines a sculptural front reading with a constructive rear logic: interlocking, ribs, filling and continuity. A solution that connects design, digital fabrication and on-site execution.

Location

Encofrados Alsina · Montcada i Reixac

The project was developed for installation at the Encofrados Alsina facilities in Montcada i Reixac, Barcelona. An industrial environment suitable for validating a singular construction solution based on additive manufacturing with concrete.
