1
By expanding the use of fully recyclable, bio-based materials in construction, researching and streamlining their properties and optimising the materials’ process parameters accustomed to Additive Manufacturing equipment, BIOGEMSE aims to significantly reduce the environmental impact of construction products.
Targets
Materials with more than 70% recycled bio-derived content
80% lower CO₂ emissions during production
Recyclability & Circularity
Use nature-inspired design to create smarter buildings
2
By translating principles found in nature into construction design, BIOGEMSE will develop innovative building components that combine high performance with resource efficiency.
Using generative design, ΑΙ, digital modeling and simulation, the project will create building components with complex shapes and structures inspired by nature.
Targets
Improved thermal and acoustic performance
Passive cooling and enhanced energy efficiency
Optimised sustainability, cost and circularity
Excel 3D printing to process sustainable construction materials
3
By combining advanced robotics, multi-axis 3D printing, intelligent monitoring and adaptive control, BIOGEMSE will enable the efficient production of complex construction components from sustainable bio-based materials.
The system will support precise, flexible and scalable manufacturing beyond conventional construction processes.
Targets
Multi-axis robotic 3D printing for complex geometries
Faster production through two-component printing technology
Real-time monitoring and AI-based defect detection
Adaptive manufacturing with automatic process correction
Create an interoperable digital ecosystem for smarter construction
4
By connecting design, materials, manufacturing and product-use information through a standardised digital framework, BIOGEMSE will enable more transparent, efficient and sustainable management of construction products throughout their lifecycle.
Digital Twins and Digital Product Passports will support data-driven decision-making, interoperability and circularity.
Targets
Digital Twins for construction products and manufacturing processes
Digital Product Passports covering product lifecycle information
Open and interoperable data exchange based on FAIR principles
Improved traceability, transparency and collaboration across the value chain
Demonstrate regenerative construction in real-world applications
5
By testing bio-intelligent construction solutions in 3 Smart Living Labs across Mediterranean, Atlantic and Τemperate Οceanic climates, BIOGEMSE will demonstrate their performance, sustainability and potential for wider adoption.
The project will move beyond reducing environmental impacts towards regenerative construction, supporting circular material flows and more sustainable use of resources.
