New Fabrications for Architecture

Zachary Schoch's blog about design, fabrication, robotic fabrication and large scale 3d printing. After all these things will (and are) shape the future of the built environment.

3D printed snap together architecture

This prototype building system was developed by Zachary Schoch with support from Eugene Lee and was Exhibited at 3D PrinterWorld 2015 in Burbank California. It fit into one car and took about 10 minutes to setup including unloading. Standing over 10 feet tall it was printed at full scale utilizing the Euclid robot 3d printer.

These three 3D printed pieces took a total of less than 18 hours to print, and use high strength ABS plastic.
