About Discussions Projects11 Journals14

3D printing enables designers and architects to materialize concepts through digital fabrication. The technology spans from desktop prototyping to large-scale construction, offering new possibilities for form-making and material experimentation.

The community explores open-source printer development, material properties of printed polymers, robotic fabrication systems, and architectural applications from residential cabins to commercial structures.

despacio

Despacio is a space thought to offer a decompression and deceleration atmosphere to its users. The parasite, shaped like a donut, stands in one of the pillars of the Parque Berrío Station, located right in the center of Medellín, Colombia.

Iridescence

A marriage of sustainable materials with modern fabrication technologies, the pavilion features two rejuvenating zones that appeal to different demographics. Regardless of zone, the form is perforated to create an enchanting dialogue between dark and light, night and day.

Blackbox open source 3D Printer

Blackbox is a high-end approach to open source 3D Printing. Due to the basic design principle of material suitability and the combination of high-tech materials with composite FDM materials, Blackbox reaches high speeds with a large print volume while still being accessible for ambitious makers. The watercooled printheads allow true multimaterial printing.

Precise Imprecision

Flexible Construction with Robotic Fabric Formwork Precise Imprecision defines a new robotic construction technique through stack casting fabric molds by KUKA industrial robot and human, and re-defines "precise" and "imprecise" in digital fabrication.

Dynacrowd Laboratories

This visualization for the integration of human interaction with artificial intelligence creates a blend between a traditional shopping center and manufacturing plant-- but with a twist. The facility implements a dynamic crowd-sourcing process in which humans test a variety of prototypes while AI uses their reactions to produce more attractive products.

IMPACT

IMPACT is the word that best describes this project, both in terms of architecture and function. The inspiration for this project is the impact between Earth and space objects. These strokes create craters, so a Dome is placed inside a crater to symbolize the IMPACT.

EREBUS

The Erebus project conceives the colonization of the asteroid belt by proposing the installation of a habitable orbital station called Erebus and a robotic surface settlement called Hades. The orbital station will be comprised of three toroidal spacecraft that will be relieved one at a time each year and a half, avoiding isolation.

Analysis of samples’ mechanical properties made with a low cost 3D printer, using filaments of virgin and recycled PLA

The experiment analyzes samples’mechanical properties, made with a low-cost 3D printers using commercially PLA’s filaments, recycled twice.We discovered that recyclying PLA doesn’t alters its mechanical proprieties. We want to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste, improving 3d printing and recycle processes. It will reduce planet's pollution.
