While\u00a03D concrete printing is<\/a>\u00a0gaining momentum in the construction industry, it seems that technology is also widely used in the arts industry to create complex and unique structures, including furniture.\u00a0This is the case of this project presented by the designer Philipp Aduatz who worked with the Austrian company Incremental3d to make a chair printed in 3D from concrete.<\/p>\n

The International Furniture Fair in Milan is an opportunity to present the latest innovative projects in the sector and some do not hesitate to turn to 3D printing: we were already talking about\u00a03D printed chairs with Nagami<\/a>\u00a0but this time, the designer have resorted to 3D concrete printing to design a lounge chair.\u00a0Aduatz reportedly worked with the company Incremental3d, which developed a 3D concrete printing method, offering more freedom in terms of geometric complexity.<\/p>\n

Digital Chaiselongue combines craftsmanship and 3D concrete printing<\/h3>\n

Together, they have created the ”\u00a0Digital Chaiselongue<\/em>\u00a0“, a concrete chair printed in 3D.\u00a0They explain that the making of this piece was done in several stages.\u00a0First, a negative mould was printed in 3D from concrete.\u00a0This resulted in a number of specific details in the structure, which was then obtained by extruding the concrete mix onto the mould.\u00a0Once finished, the printing time would have taken less than an hour.\u00a0Carbon fibres have also been used to reinforce the concrete in some areas, ensuring the stability and tensile strength of the structure in its most sensitive areas.\u00a0Carbon fibre is indeed a very light material but it is\u00a0as strong as steel.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After printing the chair, a UV-resistant polyurethane coating have been applied by hand.\u00a0This last step illustrates how additive manufacturing can be combined with other more traditional ways of working and how the creative process can be automated.\u00a0Aduatz’s exhibition would focus on this mix of crafts and new technologies;\u00a0he also created other chairs that would mix different materials and manufacturing techniques.<\/p>\n
