Application in details
Construction of housing with a 3D printer using raw soil.
The Italian 3D printing company WASP in collaboration with the design studio Mario Cucinella Architects has launched a new project for the construction of innovative 3D printed housing.
The project materials provide for the creation of a round model of a 100% recyclable ecological residential building. TECLA (which takes its name from «Technology and Clay») was built using the Crane WASP - the latest WASP 3D printer for the construction sector - and is a real challenge for 3D printing as it maximizes material productivity. It is one of the oldest and at the same time one of the most stimulating for the future green economy: raw soil.
