WASP experiment with 3D printer for ‘zero-mile’ homes
The Constumat event, which was hosted by the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and took place in Barcelona, provided the World’s Advanced Saving Project (WASP) with the opportunity to experiment with its BigDelta 3D printer, designed to create ‘zero-mile’ homes.
The company used a modified version of its cochlea extruder, which features a rotating nozzle that permits a better deposition of fibres. The extruder allowed WASP to print a chair made of wood paste, a mixture made of liquid glue, flour and sawdust.
At the event, the company also experimented with mushroom mycelium, which is a 100% compostable material that is more resistant than concrete and the focus of many green building projects. WASP used this material to reinforce a structure.
