大格式3D打印机制造商Bigrephas started 3D printing an urban green habitat installation named GENESIS Eco Screen. Using only recycled plastic, the work showcases the potential of additive manufacturing as a sustainable means of architecture. It’s build is currently ongoing on public view at洪堡大学在柏林。创世纪定为首映小说论坛一个月内的文化展览。
GENESIS Eco Screen
Genesis Eco屏幕项目由Bigrep的领导award-winningnowlab团队与艺术家Lindsay Lawson合作。采用雕塑壁的形状，它是具有附加功能的生态结构。四个BigrepONE3D printers have been set to make the screen, using multiple filaments consisting of BigRep PETG and BASF Innofil3D rPET.
创世纪中的3D打印机丝是从回收PET中100％制造的。将塑料瓶发送到收集点，清洁和预处理。之后，它们将它们变成可打印的原材料，使用原始天堂Dual Axel Shredder. A long strand of 2.75 mm diameter filament is extruded and coiled on spools for 3D printing. The five-step production process will be detailed in the circular economy exhibition running alongside the 3D printers will further.
模仿在森林中发现的大量根系，创世纪，我们完成了4m x 4m。屏幕的特征包括植物的嵌入式水和排水系统以及孤独蜜蜂的庇护所。一个类似的概念，称为Banyan Eco Wall，此前由Nowlab团队于今年6月探索。对于Genesis Eco屏幕而言，这可能是一个早期的概念，它具有内置的水和排水系统。
一种dvanced generative design algorithms and agent-based modelling are used to create the GENESIS Eco Screen. With only a few preset parameters, these computer tools can autonomously design the complex geometries. The diameter of 3D printed “branches” is optimized by a data analysis of sun exposure across the installation. Shading features and plant positioning are also created and adjusted accordingly.

一种circular economy基于资源优化和减少废物的可持续性原则。尽管这个概念已经越来越受欢迎，但在城市中尚未完全付诸实践，但是有些项目，例如Barcelona’s FabCityconcept have made an attempt. The GENESIS Eco Screen, for BigRep, is an attempt to demonstrate how cities can adopt these principles.
作为一个封闭的循环过程，瓶废物和生产之间，创世纪的屏幕生产演示了如何缩小资源输入，废物，排放和能源使用之间的差距。
根据Bigrep CIO兼NowLAB董事总经理DanielBüning的说法，它“展示了社会如何发展更绿色的未来 - 具有可持续性，本地，模块化和协作性的循环经济解决方案。”此外，“有了这个项目，”布宁说，“我们正在使用多种预固定的塑料材料为制造聚合物对象引入一种新的，真正的可持续制造协议。”
The GENESIS Eco Screen is scheduled for completion in late August. Once completed, it will be exhibited alongside other cultural and creative projects at the小说论坛exhibition center. Fiction Forum runs from 10 am to 6 pm on weekdays in October 2019.
