The WUIware vessels are 3D printed out of California wildfire ash from the El Dorado Wildfire in San Bernadino County, and both the SCU and CZU lighting complex fires in Santa Clara County. WUI (woo-eee) stands for the Wildland Urban Interface. The WUI is the zone of transition between unoccupied land and human development.It is … Read More
The 3D Printed Cabin brings many of Emerging Objects’ material, software, and hardware experiments together to demonstrate the architectural potential of additive manufacturing on a weather tight, structurally sound building. Due to a housing emergency in the Bay Area, the Oakland City Council eased restrictions on the construction of secondary housing units, or backyard cottages. This has opened … Read More
Emerging Objects and Bold Machines: The Innovation Workshop at Stratasys have joined together to unveil one of the largest PLA based 3D printed structures built to date. The debut of this groundbreaking project is a demonstration of the architectural potential of 3D printing, particularly using the small MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D printer. The freestanding … Read More
The Picoroco Wall is constructed using the Picoroco Block™, a modular 3D printed building block for wall fabrication printed in PLA. PLA, or polyactic acid, is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources. The wall is comprised of blocks with a dimension of 5.75″X5.75″X5.75″. Three different blocks are used in the construction of the wall—a … Read More
