It Started With Frustration.
We were tired of waiting.
So we built our own.
Before Solaris, there was only belief.
Dar Ventures gave us the first push.
Developers and designers didn’t just support—
they built with us.
A Machine. Made Here.
In a Cairo workshop —with dust in the air, and
g-codes on the screen —Solaris came to life.
It moved with intent. Printed with purpose.
That was the moment LAYN became real.
We Think in Layers.
We believe buildings should adapt — not just
stand.
We believe concrete can be beautiful.
We believe time is a material, and cities should
be reprogrammable.
We believe in printing with purpose, not just
speed.
Each line is a decision.
Each layer, a belief.
Zeyad Zein and Mohamed El Hashemy co-founded LAYN with a shared belief that construction could be reimagined. Zeyad, drawing on his background in construction and real estate, wanted to move beyond selling space to changing how it is created. Mohamed, with a decade of experience in 3D printing and engineering, built the machines and materials to make that vision possible. Together, they are shaping a new way to build with precision, creativity, and care.
Born in Cairo. Built for the World.
LAYN is Egypt's first 3D concrete printing
company.
But we didn't build it to be first.
We built it to be better.
This region doesn't just consume technology.
We create it.
