A Dutch company has built a machine so impressive it’s been nicknamed the “Road Printer” — and it’s changing how brick roads are made forever. Meet the Tiger-Stone, a six-meter-wide marvel that lays perfectly patterned brick roads almost as easily as unrolling a carpet.

Fully electric and operated by just one to three workers, the machine turns a labor-intensive craft into a seamless, automated process. Workers simply stand on the platform, feed loose bricks into the hopper, and arrange them in the desired pattern. Then the magic happens: as the Tiger-Stone slowly moves backward, gravity guides the bricks down a curved ramp and sets them neatly into place. A tamper or steamroller follows behind, locking the road together.

The result? A speed and efficiency boost that traditional bricklaying can’t come close to. While a manual crew might manage 75–100 square meters a day, the Tiger-Stone can lay a staggering 300 square meters — all with flawless consistency. Available in multiple sizes and priced between $80,000 and $110,000, this machine is redefining road construction and turning an age-old craft into a high-tech art form.
