Weave-Inspired Digital Fabrication for Textile-Form

This research explores the possibilities of combining additive manufacturing and weaving of textiles to create a novel textile-form. In recent years, additive manufacturing has revolutionized manufacturing processes by enabling the creation of complex three dimensional geometries with precision. Conversely, weaving, a traditional method of...

The Structural Feasibility of 3D-printing houses using printable polymers

At this point in time, 3D-printing techniques in general, but especially applied for the building industry, still are in a phase of early experiments. One of the experimental attempts is to print a full-scale, three-story high, house in Amsterdam, using an up scaled version of a FDM-printer that is able to print blocks of 1.8 x 1.8 x 3.0 meters...
