About This Product

Reefmaker has partnered with 1Print, located near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to deliver advanced 3D-printed coastal protection and artificial reef solutions as part of its expanding portfolio of marine and shoreline resilience products.

Advanced 3D Concrete Printing Technology

This innovative construction approach uses 3D concrete printing to create highly customized, site-specific structures for coastal protection, shoreline stabilization, habitat enhancement, and restoration. The process enables precision, repeatability, scalable customization, and complex geometry that can be difficult to achieve with traditional construction methods.

Customized Shoreline Resilience Solutions

3D-printed structures can be adapted to site conditions, project goals, water depth, wave exposure, habitat requirements, and deployment constraints. This allows coastal engineers, municipalities, environmental agencies, and waterfront property stakeholders to pursue more flexible and targeted resilience strategies.

Scalable Marine Restoration Applications

By combining marine engineering, 3D concrete printing, and habitat-focused design, this solution creates new opportunities for artificial reefs, shoreline protection, living shorelines, coastal restoration, and long-term resilience planning.
