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
The Sawdust Screen is fabricated from 3D printed walnut and the surface retains the layering effect from the additive manufacturing process, which simulates natural wood grain. The screen is comprised of individual 3D printed wood components which are affixed together to form a variably dimensional enclosure and surface. The Sawdust Screen is inspired by the … Read More
We are constantly working towards improving our 3D printing materials and Poroso is an experiment in block aggregation using our specially formulated wood material. The wood has a higher accuracy and finer finish than our previous formulas. It is also stronger and more easily able to be excavated from the print bed. Like our previous wood … Read More
A burl is a tree growth in which the grain has grown in a deformed manner. It is commonly found in the form of a rounded outgrowth on a tree trunk or branch that is filled with small knots from dormant buds. A burl results from a tree undergoing some form of stress. It may be caused by an injury, virus or fungus. In this case, the burl is … Read More
The wood block is an example of 3D printed wood as a possible building material that can be mass-customized. The additive layer manufacturing of the Wood Block creates a grain similar to natural wood. The wood material is composed of recycled agricultural waste. The texture and subtle translucency of the 3D printed wood material gives … Read More
