impact build
Impact.build is a newly found spinoff of ETH Zurich (established April, 2025), that has the mission of decarbonizing the construction sector through the use of robotic manufacturing. We aim to deliver low-carbon construction at a competitive price point by leveraging efficient robotic processes and utilizing low-cost, local materials. The flagship technology is a new type of robotic 3D printing, "impact printing." The custom printing method is a cement free process, requires no special additives to accelerate the strength development, and it typically uses excavated materials as the primary component of the mix design, supplied by local construction companies. The custom hardware has been patented, and the spinoff has the exclusive rights to commercialize through a transfer of rights with ETH Zurich.

Topdeck
AI+ 2
Topdeck AI is transforming the way construction sites are monitored. Born from the Caltech ecosystem in Pasadena, we lead globally in AI-powered extraction of actionable data from 4K video and ultra-high-resolution images. Our platform provides real-time insights on field progress, build quality, production rates, crane use, and more. If the eye can see it—we can measure it. We combine advanced analytics with a powerful live video system, purpose-built for jobsite needs: time-lapse, security, marketing, and remote monitoring. Our hardware adapts to any environment—mounted on rooftops, fences, tripods, or cranes—and integrates easily with existing IT systems. What sets Topdeck apart: unmatched camera flexibility, deep expertise in large/complex projects, unique bird’s-eye coverage of jobsite activity, and powerful, on-demand analytics. You can activate or pause data collection to target key moments during the build.
