Product catalog summary
Introduction to RECKLI artico® neo
RECKLI artico® neo is a product designed to enhance the creative freedom in architectural concrete by allowing the incorporation of photos, images, and individual designs into concrete surfaces. This is achieved through a special printing process that makes these designs visible regardless of lighting conditions, making it suitable for both exterior and interior applications.
Manufacturing Process
The process involves printing the desired design onto a special plastic foil using a high-quality concrete activator. This foil is then placed into a mold, and concrete is poured over it. After the concrete sets, the foil is removed, and the surface is washed with a high-pressure cleaner to reveal the design through the contrast between washed-out and smooth surfaces. The foils are intended for single use.
Design Options
RECKLI offers a standard collection of motifs under the artico® neo Design Collection, which includes various patterns such as "Bubble Tea," "Cubes," and "Flower Power." These designs are available in rolls with a maximum size of 2.15m × 25m and can be cut to the desired size on-site. The designs can be repeated both horizontally and vertically.
Customization with artico® neo Individual
For custom designs, RECKLI artico® neo Individual allows for personalized graphics or photos to be printed on the foil. The process requires image files in tif, jpeg, or bmp formats, as PDF files are not suitable. Custom designs can be reordered without setup costs, and sample films can be produced for a fee to optimize the concrete formula.
Technical Specifications and Recommendations
The product supports a maximum design dimension of 2.15m × 25m. The visualization of photos and graphics in the concrete surface is light-independent, offering unlimited design freedom. The document emphasizes the importance of using appropriate file formats and provides guidance on the preparation and visualization of custom designs.
Publication Information
This document was published by Reckli GmbH in July 2018, with contributions from ipd3d for 3D visualization and Becker Druck for printing.

The façade is the external appearance of a building. It is visible without revealing what is inside. It can excite, shock, inspire. It can tell a story, arouse curiosity. It can reveal the hidden and highlight the purpose of a building. artico® neo Design KNITTING NEEDLES

RECKLI artico® neo complements the creative freedom for architectural concrete with an essential component. Photos, images, individual designs and graphics can be made visible with this procedure – regardless of lighting conditions. That is why RECKLI artico® neo is also perfectly suited for use in interiors.

The process is simple: RECKLI artico® neo is a plastic foil on which graphics or photos are printed with a high quality concrete activator. The concrete activator causes the concrete to set at a delayed time so that it can be washed out on the surface after demolding. The uppermost cement skin is partially removed. The contrast between the washed out and smooth surfaces makes the graphics or photos visible. The foils are intended for single use. RECKLI prints the design onto a special foil. The artico foil is laid into the mold. Manufacturing process

The concrete is poured into the mold. Once the concrete has hardened, the concrete element can be demolded. The foil is simply removed from the concrete element and the concrete is washed out with a high-pressure cleaner. The interplay of washed out and smooth surfaces makes the design visible.

We prepare the files and send a visualization upon request. Photos are fragmented into halftone dots just like in newspaper printing. Their size depends on the reference image and the viewing distance and is defined by project specifics. We can also produce sample films for a fee. In this way, the precast factory can optimize their concrete formula. Once produced, designs can be reordered at any time. Due to the efficient manufacturing process, there are no setup costs. The process requires tif-, jpegor bmp files. For this application PDF files are not well suited.
