About Us
My name is Ray van Dijk
I am one of the many people who lost everything in the August 8th 2023 Lahaina Wild fires.
My goal is to educate people about the benefits of 3D concrete printing so we can return back to our homes in the most cost effective and timely manner.
About the Design Team
I have partnered with the Kona based architectural firm Opihi.io. They are specialists in the new 3DCP construction technology. We are currently setting up a facility in Kawaihae on big island.
Section components of new builds will be printed on the Big Island and shipped to Maui for assembly.
