Creating a sustainable model for architectural fabrication

The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry is responsible for almost 40% of global carbon emissions. Aectual is leading the way towards a more sustainable future, using Lenovo ThinkStation solutions to support the production of architectural objects from recycled materials.

Customer Problem

To realize its vision of sustainable interiors and architecture on an industrial scale, Aectual requires IT equipment capable of running demanding 3D modeling and simulation programs.

Lenovo Solution

For many years, Aectual has used Lenovo ThinkStation solutions to support its design and production work, such as rendering complex parametric models and preparing files for 3D printing.

Business Impact

Working with Lenovo, Aectual has established itself as a world leader in circular design and fabrication, with a client list that includes BMW, Nike, and Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

“The built environment is fundamental for everyone’s lives, and we want to make it circular, accessible, and flexible. We are proud to be a Lenovo customer. Together, we can work towards a smarter and more sustainable future.”
