Inspired by our historic Tuscan headquarters, we're crafting something truly special. We're the first and only ones creating these "Italian works of art" to be the heart and soul of the amazing RedRess project.
We couldn't have done it without the brilliant engineer Enrico Dini, the founder and inventor of D-Shape 3D printing technology. His contribution helped make this dream a reality!


The REDRESS project (Restoration of Deep-sea habitats to Rebuild European Seas) is an initiative aimed at contributing to the EU's efforts to restore degraded ecosystems, especially in the deep sea. The main goal is to provide solutions for prioritizing future restoration actions, expanding restoration to previously overlooked habitat types, and demonstrating the feasibility and value of deep-sea ecosystem restoration. The project focuses on habitats that have great potential for climate change mitigation but have been damaged by deep-sea fishing, particularly trawling.

Pioneering Sustainable 3D Printing for a Resilient Future!
Since 2006, D-Shape is revolutionizing the creation of nature-inclusive marine structures through a patented, large-scale 3D printing technology. Our innovative binder-jetting process deposits a liquid binder onto a powder bed of solid reactant and aggregate, transforming a digital model into a solid, complex object layer by layer.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly by Design
Our technology is founded on a principle of sustainability. We utilize a range of in-situ or recycled materials, such as sand and specific binders, to minimize waste and reduce environmental impact. The resulting structures are not only durable but also feature unique textures tailored to the environment.
Enhancing Marine Life and Coastal Resilience
D-Shape's printed structures are specifically designed to enhance healthy marine habitats through biomimicry. Our modules feature:
High Surface Area: Promotes the growth of marine organisms.
Tailored Crevices: Provides safe havens for diverse marine species.
Naturalistic Aesthetics: Integrates seamlessly into the marine environment.
Beyond fostering biodiversity, our solutions actively promote energy dissipation and resist sediment deposition, significantly increasing coastal community resilience against natural threats and emergencies.
Global Partnerships and Proven Expertise
We are a trusted partner in numerous international projects and corporate collaborations, delivering solutions for maritime and coastal restoration, as well as space colonization. Our partners include leading global innovators and organizations such as:
Architecture & Design: Foster+Partners, Zaha Hadid
Environmental & Restoration: WWF, Boskalis, Orsted
Aerospace: European Space Agency
Infrastructure: Hong Kong Airport Authority
The D-Shape technology was invented and patented by Eng. Enrico Dini, a visionary leader in large-scale additive manufacturing.
