WHAT IT DOES
Swiss start-up (grown from a 2022 project at Università della Svizzera italiana) that makes concrete building elements shaped to place material only where it is structurally needed. Elements are cast in recyclable paper-based moulds produced with software and digital machines. Products listed are SlabX, a pre-manufactured floor system, and Vertebra, an on-site assembled staircase; Foldcast also offers design, fabrication, installation, and consulting. It says elements are designed to Swiss and EU standards and certified for specific structural loads. The site does not describe AI.
WHO IT'S FOR
Architects, engineers, general contractors, and developers, mainly in Switzerland and the EU.
