Feeling the pulse of construction sector, Made Expo has a very elegant surprise for its visitors this year. A part of 3D printed archway will be presented at the fair.
Starting today Made Expo brings construction world in Milano. The fair also show the effect of 3D printing in construction sector with this presentation. Being printed only with 3D technology, this giant archway is expected to be the attention grabbers of the fair.
The fabrication process of the building components has been made possible by WASP and its farm of Wasp Delta printers, which have ensured a highly accurate and consistent production process. The researchers believe WASP’s 3D printing technology has cut production times in half. Encompassing the latest 3D technology and harnessing the biomimetic philosophy, and working in conjunction with WASP and FILO ALFA, the group believe they have underlined the potential of computational design and 3D printing for the construction industry.
“We looked into nature to understand how lightweight and resistant structures work with a minimised material use,” Roberto Naboni and Ingrid Paoletti stated. “Studying the internal bone microstructure, we have created algorithms which allow us to generate three dimensional cellular structures, varying in topology and sizing, with the precision of a tenth of a millimetre.”
