The first clay house printed on a 3D printer / Habr

April 28, 2021 at 17:58

RUVDS.com company blog Design Gadgets Popular science 3D printers Original author: Jenny Brewer

Several printers printed this house from local soil in 200 hours. As a result, no waste and the need to deliver building materials. nine0005

Mario Cucinella Architects, together with Wasp, the leading Italian 3D printing company, have completed the first clay house. This process, called Tecla (technology and clay), is sustainable and does not harm the environment, since the production leaves no waste and does not require the delivery of materials to the construction site. It took several industrial printers just 200 hours to build this 60 square meter prototype in Ravenna, Italy. nine0005

In terms of design, the house is an organic cave-like form that looks like an ancient creation created by nature itself, looking at which you would never think that high technology is behind it. This is a natural feature of the "humanistic" architecture of Mario Cucinella, which arises at the intersection of the world of simplicity with the world of high-tech. "The aesthetics of this house was born as a result of technical and material efforts." - says Mario - "Moreover, the approach was based not only on aesthetics, but also contained the openness and sincerity of the form." nine0005

The project began with a development that Cucinella and Wasp founder Massimo Moretti started with the School of Sustainability, an organization that is exploring the possibility of building sustainable homes with minimal environmental impact - that is, from local materials without having to ship them to building sites. The result is Tecla technology, which is a nearly zero-emission, low-carbon process. "Tecla shows that a beautiful, healthy and sustainable home can be built with a machine." Moretti adds. nine0005

The architect studied how the form of a building can affect its efficiency depending on climate and geographic latitude, and also realized the composition of the material, taking into account insulation and ventilation. At the same time, the shape and external protrusions of the house additionally ensure its stability.

Inside there is a living room, a kitchen and a bedroom. Part of the furniture is integrated into the structure, while the rest of the free-standing items are created with further processing and reuse in mind. The house was built from 350 layers 12mm thick, which took 60 cubic meters of natural materials. The average power consumption in this case was less than 6 kW. nine0002 20K

children! Selection of 3D- models of training aids.

It's September 1 again! Do you think 3D printing has anything to do with this date? Of course it has! Agree that new technologies will transform our life in the most amazing way, make it brighter and more exciting. A bit of 3D magic, and the most boring routine things begin to play with new colors. In the field of education, the possibilities of 3D printing are truly endless! The use of visual aids printed on a 3D printer raises the educational process to a qualitatively new level, turning it into an exciting game, or a fantastic action in the spirit of Ivan Efremov and Kir Bulychev. A little more, and we simply cannot imagine schools without 3D pens and 3D printers! nine0005

In anticipation of Knowledge Day, we have prepared for you a selection of the best 3D models of tutorials from Thingivers.com. They will be useful not only for teachers, but also for the parents of future Einsteins and Mendeleevs. By printing with your child a model of a plant cell, a skull of a tyrannosaurus rex, or a funny robot, you will help him take the first steps towards understanding the laws of nature. Print, Dream, Achieve! Let's create the future together!

1. Animal and plant cell model. All organelles can be touched and painted in your favorite colors. nine0093
