New research from RMIT University shows that patterns inspired by lobster shells can make 3D printed concrete stronger, supporting more complex and creative architectural structures. While digital manufacturing technologies promise construction efficiency and the ability to push the boundaries of architectural innovation, technical challenges remain in making 3D printed concrete strong enough for use in […]
Mario Cucinella Architects and 3D printers WASP have teamed up to create a sustainable, 3D printed habitat out of locally-sourced clay. The project, known as TECLA, has been launched in Bologna and is in response to problems associated with population growth and the need to produce eco-houses quickly and affordably. It will be the first house […]
Angela Ferguson of FutureSpace and Luke Ommundson of Evostyle discuss what 3D printing and five-axis machining mean for designers and our homes.
“As a practice deeply entrenched in digital fabrication technologies it was exciting to create an immersive space that gives room for storytelling while being part of the story itself,” says Chris Bosse, director at LAVA, on designing an exhibition space for the Sydney Powerhouse Museum.
