A work on large format printing that proposes combining additive manufacturing techniques with the construction of complex geometries. Not only for the construction of ornamental elements, enclosures, furniture, etc. but also for the development of structural parts.
The work is based on the idea that current technology allows the manufacture of large elements with materials such as improved plastics, ceramic elements and even concrete. Thus, develop complex geometries, allowing the construction of elements that until today required complicated and costly processes.
The work has consisted of an investigation and a contact with various 3D printing techniques in the phases of modeling, file generation and interaction with the hardware. And the participating students have produced printed objects from visual representations. The manufacture of molds suitable for the manufacture of cast concrete elements has also been implemented. All the tests have been carried out in the FabLab Donostia.
