可再生能源和房地产公司Horizon Legacy Group已经揭示了建立加拿大“第一个也是最大的3D印刷社区”的计划。
作为其'的一部分Marco Polo 100’ challenge, the company is offering $10 million to fund the R&D of any advanced technologies or building approaches, capable of erecting housing at a cost of just $100/sq ft. Having selected its contest finalists, the group is now tasking them with proving the scalability of their entries, in a final stage that could see six family homes 3D printed into a cosy waterfront community in Ontario.
Horizon Legacy的设计大赛
Founded initially as a conventional house building firm, the Horizon Legacy Group has changed its approach over the last decade to focus more on green energy and construction technologies. In doing so, the company has increasingly begun to develop solar, wind and water power-generating technologies, and attempted to seek out new approaches to building sustainable eco-friendly real estate.
该集团认为，建筑行业在房屋建设过程方面正在“很少的进步”，许多公司仍然使用“百年历史的技术”。为了帮助加速该行业采用数字技术，Horizon Legacy Group建立了其“ Marco Polo 100”竞赛，它旨在开发代表该行业“定性飞跃”的方法。
Opened in October last year to designers, start-ups and industry pros alike, the competition’s first phase received 3D printing and robotics-based entries from more than 400 people in 60 countries. Having been assessed by a 12-member jury, with construction, 3D printing and engineering expertise, these approaches have now been whittled down to just six, which will enter initial trials over the next year.
“ Marco Polo 100”决赛选手
Horizon Legacy Group根据标准选择了决赛入围者，旨在奖励那些产生“宜居和吸引人”住房的过程，并符合加拿大建筑法规。在选择之前，团队不得不提交一个有凝聚力的工作计划，涵盖了创建小型原型的预测成本和时间表，以及在安大略省的实质性多层建筑。
然后提交审议住房c代码onsultant, which provided teams with feedback, and marked their entries based on time, cost, compliance, scalability, aesthetics and creativity. Of these, just ten made it through to validation and due diligence checks, and following follow-up questions and inspections, six finalists were selected last month.
获奖设计包括来自捷克共和国的“ Scoolpt”，加拿大的“ O-Cube”和美国的“ Hivetat”，以及来自Cybe，，，，ImprimereandUBB智利，分别来自荷兰，瑞士和智利。现在，所有六个条目的详细信息都在比赛的决赛之前发布了一系列。个人资料视频这揭示了团队设计的不同背景和方法。
例如，Scoolpt团队由设计师和艺术家组成，其大胆的野心是创建“可以输入的雕塑”，而O-Cube实际上是整个模块化构造系统。同时，Cybe几乎没有提供任何细节，但该公司在该领域的背景很强，同意3D print a house in the UAE，，，，and it’s now支持英国HS2的建造network.
就比赛的决赛而言，所有六名参赛者都同意与加拿大建筑师合作，以最终确定其设计，获得当地建筑许可并建立小型原型结构。根据与以前相同的标准进行判断，可以将所得结构缩小到只有一个批准的构建，尽管Horizon Legacy Group已经打开了大门，以实现六个设计中的每一个。
一旦这些设计获得了所需的当地批准，他们就将从2022年8月在一个小型5000人的农村社区Gananoque开始进行最终建设。总体而言，比赛的支持者希望它“展示创新的建筑技术”，并产生一个“提高房屋建设的效率和生产力”的过程，同时降低了买家的房屋成本。
我的可持续社区
随着构建3D打印的可伸缩性的不断提高，该技术开始允许公司超越单家庭建筑物，进入加成型制造社区。2021年3月，加利福尼亚初创企业强大的建筑物揭露了计划3D打印15个环保房屋，在Coachella Valley附近的一个占地5英亩的商业地点。
当时，该公司声称部署其“强大的建筑套件”可以使其能够消除在建造过程中多达99％的建筑废物。过去，德克萨斯公司图标has achieved a similar feat,3D打印住房社区for low-income families in Mexico, which has started at two buildings, but could reach fifty by the time it’s finished.
同样，PERI Group越来越扩展其使用柯博德construction systems, and earlier this year, it finished utilizing them to 3D print athree-storey apartment building。Built in the Bavarian town of Wallenhausen, the house is expected to be split into five apartments, and listed on the German rental market.
