About us
Toward a new building culture
We are Barrobot3D, a company from San Javier, in the Traslasierra Valley, Córdoba. We develop large-format 3D printing to build with the earth of the land itself.
We design and build our own machines: four prototypes so far, each one correcting the last. The most recent printed a dome seven meters in diameter, self-supporting and without columns. On that technology we work on three fronts — training, the system for those who want to print, and construction — together with universities, professionals and institutions.
Technology does not replace nature. It amplifies it.
Mission
To transform the way we build, integrating 3D printing and local materials to democratize access to sustainable, healthy, low-environmental-impact housing.
Vision
To be drivers of a new building culture that combines local materials, traditional knowledge and digital technologies to create regenerative, accessible architecture in harmony with its surroundings.

Values
Five pillars
Sustainability and regeneration
Reducing the impact of building: we use local materials, not ones brought from far away.
Local roots
Materials and resources from each territory. Every soil is different.
Tradition and innovation
Ancestral knowledge and contemporary technologies, together.
Accessibility
So that building well stops being a privilege.
Collaboration
Communities, professionals and institutions working together.
The team
The people behind the machine
Barrobot3D began with two disciplines that almost never cross — biomaterials and sustainable architecture on one side, mechatronics on the other — working on the same machine.
Agustín Gore
Co-founder
Researcher and developer of biomaterials applied to sustainable construction. His work focuses on integrating natural materials, traditional knowledge and emerging technologies to create low-impact housing solutions.
Gustavo Mutio
Co-founder
Electronics technician specialized in automation, numerical control (CNC) and digital fabrication. Responsible for Barrobot's mechatronic development, he combines industrial experience with the design and construction of architectural-scale 3D printing systems.
Collaborators
Together with a team of collaborators in architecture, engineering, industrial design, graphic design and research, we work to integrate knowledge that traditionally evolved separately.
Félix Raspall
Computational design and digital fabrication
Architect and researcher. Doctor of Design from Harvard and Master of Architecture from Yale. Professor at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, where he researches circular architecture and digital fabrication applied to construction. His work has been exhibited at the Venice Architecture Biennale and the Milan Design Biennale.
Andrés Ludueña
Additive manufacturing and parametric design
Architect and engineer with dual degrees from the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba and the Università degli Studi di Salerno. PhD candidate specializing in additive manufacturing, parametric design and sustainable materials. Founder and member of Proyecto Ariadna.
Enrique Brusco
Strategic and commercial direction
Director of Gerenciando Canales, a consultancy specialized in sales channels, technology implementation and transition in family businesses. At Barrobot he supports commercial strategy and the design of the three lines of business — training, machines and construction — along with content strategy and customer segmentation. He also helps in the search for financing and in building ties with academic and institutional partners, and coordinates the project's internal organization. His contribution is to turn technical development into an orderly, sustainable business, ready to scale.
Facundo Brusco
Full-stack development and applied AI
Full-stack developer and AI consultant for SMEs at Gerenciando Canales, where he works on end-to-end web applications and process automation. He is studying Information Systems Engineering at the Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Córdoba Regional Faculty. He built this site.
