ECOCLAD app. An app for 3d printed pipes product.
Elevate your building’s exterior with EcoClad the innovative web tool that designs custom green facades using eco-friendly, 3D-printed pipes.
The user is required to input his facade boundary or the part of it that wanted to be green.
The idea of the app is to Maximize plant coverage while minimizing material waste by optimizing your facade and creating a highly efficient irrigation system by calculating the shortest path for water distribution for pipes.
-The app gives 3 options of plants types so the user input the radius of each type and the amount of greens for iterations.
The app starts calculating the optimal placemat of the different plants to get the maximum converge while calculating the shortest path possible to get the minimum amount of 3d printed pipes for water.
This way you can get your customized design and preview for your own facade.
The metadata provided by the app for users are the coverage percentage of the facade by the cladding, green area, pipes area and the length of the 3d printed product to get the user to check out for the pricing
Enjoy the beauty of nature integrated into your architecture with an artistic eco-calling.
