The innovative design and manufacturing strategy significantly expands the possibilities of 3D printing with concrete. Instead of printing components in a single pass, the project pursues a modular strategy. Inspired by ancient Greek and Roman columns, the artwork consists of nine drums and four wings. Each individual element weighs less than 30 kilograms. This principle facilitates transport, enables flexible assembly, disassembly, and reuse, and thus extends the life cycle of the components %u2013 an important contribution to sustainable construction and circular design principles.Lanxess as a driver of innovation in 3D concrete printingIn order to secure the potential of colored concrete in 3D printing, not only in terms of design but also in terms of technology, Lanxess is conducting research into the properties of its pigments under additive manufacturing conditions in collaboration with partners such as the Institute of Construction Materials at the Technical University of Dresden. As part of joint investigations, the partners have analyzed how Bayferrox and Colortherm pigments behave in 3D concrete printing. The results show that the pigments do not affect the concrete properties and at the same time enable high color quality and consistency. They can therefore be used without restriction for the individual coloring of the up to now mostly gray material in 3D printing. nFURTHER INFORMATIONLanxess Deutschland GmbHwww.bayferrox.com
