The Postgraduate in 3D Printing Architecture is a 6-month long intensive programme in the field of additive manufacturing of sustainable architecture. Between the use of advanced technology for construction and the desire to develop a holistic design approach to architecture, we engage with different areas of research that include robotic manufacturing, material research and performance-based design. The programme seeks to develop technological and architectural solutions in collaboration with Industry partners to answer the current needs and challenges of our habitat.
Techne 4 focuses on designing the print path for 3D Printing Architecture (3dPA). With a 45 mm print width, walls can include cavities, which save material, speed up drying, improve structure, and support climate control. These print paths are key features, not just “infill,” in large-scale earth 3D printing. Over time, three effective printing patterns … Read more
