The French Startup XtreeE – 3D Concrete Printing Specialist – is presenting one of his latest works in collaboration with Studio 7.5, a German design firm.\u00a0Together, they created three 3D printed concrete benches, all with the same woven pattern. The 3D printed benches\u00a0will be part of Studio 7.5’s bespoke street furniture collection.<\/p>\n

These 3D printed benches meet the many application cases of 3D concrete printing. Whether houses designed using 3D technologies such as in Nantes\u00a0or furniture<\/a>, there is no doubt that it has the potential to upset the construction market.\u00a0Many\u00a0manufacturers<\/a>\u00a0have embarked on this niche, such as the French startup XtreeE, which has developed a 6-axis robot capable of extruding its own concrete mix.<\/p>\n

3D concrete printing offers more opportunities for the construction sector<\/h3>\n

The\u00a06-axis robot is the machine used to create these three concrete benches.\u00a0It comes down to deposit layers of material, moving in a defined movement. This movement is what is behind the creation of the woven pattern.\u00a0According to the designers of Studio 7.5, it is a very complex motive to obtain with a classic mold, which would have been expensive to realise. Concrete\u00a0additive manufacturing\u00a0offers them more freedom. This in terms of geometric complexity but also a significant profitability.<\/p>

The benches was built using a minimal amount of concrete compared to that required with molds. Thus reducing the carbon emissions created during concrete production.\u00a0In addition, the team explains that they are lighter than those traditionally made and very original in their aesthetics.\u00a0This is where they make us think of\u00a03D printed street furniture<\/a>\u00a0in Amsterdam. Even if the material used is completely different, the shape of the benches is unprecedented and could not have been conceived other than by 3D printing.<\/p>\n

The three benches will be part of the Studio 7.5 collection, expanding its range of 3D printed objects. They\u00a0had worked with Herman Miller on the\u00a0Metaform Portfolio project. This project was\u00a0a collection of 3D printed office accessories made from plastic materials.\u00a0You can find more information on the\u00a0official website of the German cabinet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
