For many companies, the newness of 3D concrete printing creates questions: how could this work in our industry?
ChangeMaker 3D has spent years testing the technology, proving the business case and ensuring the highest standards of site safety. We’ve just been awarded ‘Best 3D Concrete Printing Company (UK) 2022’
Natalie and Luke founded ChangeMaker3D in 2017, energised by the potential to use emerging technologies as a force for good. Having witnessed stark inequality at a community level, they were determined to combine their passions for print innovation, skills and partnerships to create a lasting legacy.
Natalie is a pioneering, ambitious leader and finalist for the Design and Build Awards ‘Women of the Year’. With a strong board-level track record of embedding social enterprise within supply chains, Natalie is proud to be increasing the profile of women in 3D print construction.
Luke is a highly technical and creative thinker who is dedicated to delivering outstanding 3D print innovation for business and society. He has over 20 years’ experience in the print industry, successfully supporting disadvantaged young people to move into employment, education and training.
