OUR TEAM

History

The company was set up in 2017 to bring a number of robotics and 3D printing based construction sector innovations to market. After spending two years exploring areas in which we could add the most value, we raised investment in 2019 to develop cutting edge innovations in the fields of both excavation and subterranean construction. Having built and tested a number of prototypes over the past three years, we have arrived at a solution that can make a real difference by increasing the productivity and reducing the emissions of both new and existing excavators.
