XtreeE launches new 3D printing construction unit in Dubai

3D concrete printer manufacturer XtreeE has announced the export of its technology internationally: it has opened an additive manufacturing centre in Dubai, which completes its production site in Rungis. The company based in France took the opportunity to announce a new investment, the amount of which was not disclosed, from TTWiiN Investment Partners, an investment-arm of of the US-based engineering consulting firm Thornton Tomasetti. Two other installations are also planned for the end of the year in Asia, thus consolidating XtreeE’s ambitions to have an operational network of 50 machines in the world by 2025.

3Dnatives had met XtreeE at the very beginning of its adventure, in 2015: the startup already had great ambitions for the 3D printing and construction market. 4 years later, it confirmed them with the implementation of several projects such as the social housing of Plurial Novilia or the 3D printed coral reefs installed in the waters of the Calanques National Park. It should also be noted that it had raised more than 2 million euros and had brought Vinci Construction into its capital. Subsequently, the manufacturer of these large scale solutions is aiming even higher with the opening of a new international site.

XtreeE therefore extends its activities to the United Arab Emirates, more precisely to Dubai with the help of the company Concreative. This new unit is intended to be “an integrated service for the design, production and installation of architectural and structural elements printed in 3D”.
