ROCKWORK BENEFITS

Why Installers are turning towards 3D printing for chip & tab panels

3D PRINTED SCRATCH COAT PANELS

In the dynamic world of construction, Pikus 3D takes center stage as a harbinger of swift and efficient rockwork fabrication. Installers and designers, get ready for a construction revolution where speed, sleekness, and safety converge seamlessly in our advanced 3D printed scratch coat panels.

The cornerstone of Pikus 3D's innovation is our unwavering commitment to speed. Our scratch coat panels, precision-printed to less than 1/8", empower designers with unrivaled control over their designs. Unlike traditional chip & tab fabrication, where speed can be compromised by manual labor and on-site challenges, Pikus 3D ensures that every detail of your vision is captured with lightning-fast efficiency.

The real game-changer lies in the rapidity of our process. While chip & tab fabrication often grapples with on-site delays, weather constraints, and extended lead times, Pikus 3D mitigates these challenges significantly. Our low-steel design not only guarantees precision but also ensures a rapid and hassle-free transition from design to installation.

We know that flexibility is crucial in the rockwork industry. Pikus empowers installers with the freedom to perform carve coat and artwork how they see fit and provides adjustment kits for attachments, enhancing the swiftness of the installation process. This not only streamlines construction but also fortifies safety, providing construction professionals with speedy and secure installation.

Advancing

In the realm of safety and quality, Pikus 3D stands firm. Our 3D-printed chip & tab panels undergo rigorous testing, meeting each of the safety standards for the diverse projects our material is utilized in. Whether you need rockwork for a public walking space, a zoo, or a themed facade, we carefully engineer our scratch coat replacement panels to fit the needs of your space and carefully follow all local and federal regulations. Our quality is never compromised.

ADVANCED FABRICATION

The heart of Pikus lies in our climate-controlled facility, where 3D Polygrout (3DPG) is crafted. Unlike the time-intensive process of chip & tab fabrication, 3DPG arrives ready for installation, dramatically cutting lead times. In a world where construction timelines are critical, Pikus delivers. Our 3DPG pieces can be printed and shipped within weeks, accelerating project completion like never before.

Pikus stands as a beacon of construction advancement, with a firm commitment to bring efficiency to the world of construction. Using Pikus not only ensures swift results and sleek design, but redefines the tempo of rockwork fabrication. As the construction industry evolves, Pikus remains at the forefront, reshaping the narrative of rapid and safe rockwork creation.
