3D PRINTED FILM STUDIO WITH LEDS LIGHTING: PHILIPP ADUATZ
Working ‘at the intersection of design and sculpture’, Vienna-based designer Philipp Aduatz uses innovative materials and fabrication technologies. He creates limited-edition functional objects that are highly sculptural in nature – his great influences are sculptors Constantin Brancusi and Tony Cragg – and his process combines traditional craft concepts and methods with cutting-edge techniques such as 3D printing, 3D laser scanning, CNC milling and rapid prototyping. His experimentation with different materials and their behaviour is an important part of his research. He has now created the world’s first 3D-printed film studio featuring integrated LED lighting. Commissioned by Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries to design and realise the studio, he produced it in collaboration with set designer Dominik Freynschlag and 3D concrete printing manufacturer incremental3d. ‘A new and innovative application was realised through a unique structure using additive manufacturing and the latest LED technology,’ says Aduatz.
The main lighting system of the film studio comprises 14 LED strips inserted horizontally into prefabricated joints. By replacing the print layers with LED strips of the same thickness, the lighting technology could be neatly integrated into the design. The LED elements are connected to the rest of the studio RGB lighting through a control system, creating an almost unlimited number of colour combinations.
The concrete wall measures 630cm wide, 330cm deep and 230cm high and has a total weight of 3,500kg. It was printed in a total of ten work steps using a 3D concrete printing process involving an innovative special mortar based on white cement. The structure has 60 individual segments, with six parts each stacked to form a segment in height. All individual
parts are screwed together in each horizontal plane, so that the wall can be completely disassembled, and is also operationally safe during use.
The concrete 3D printing process uses less materials and is therefore considered a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete construction methods. In addition, no formwork materials are required, so waste is reduced to a minimum. If no reinforcement is used, as is the case with the film studio, any recycling is further simplified. ‘Components produced by additive manufacturing with concrete are not only suitable for building construction applications, but also offer completely new creative qualities and possibilities in interior design, particularly in the combination with LED technology – as this project demonstrates,’ says Aduatz.
