The 3rd Isabelle Musy Award goes to a 3D concrete printing startup
The winner of the 2018 Isabelle Musy Award is Agnès Petit, the founder of Mobbot, a startup that develops and markets 3D printing systems for concrete. The award and its CHF 50,000 cash prize will be given to Petit at a ceremony tonight at EPFL. With a rendering as smooth as if the concrete had been coffered. Concrete has been around since the 19th century. Since then, it has become stronger, more flexible, more resistant and standardized across the industry, and it can be prefabricated. The time has now come to bring the process for pouring concrete into the digital era, moving away from forms and towards 3D printing. That's the idea that Agnès Petit, the founder of the startup Mobbot, used to win over the jury and walk away with the 2018 Isabelle Musy Award.
