Introducing our BE-AM 2023 keynote speakers: Bruno Knychalla (Additive Tectonics) will give a lecture on Scale Effects – Challenges for Sustainable Manufacturing in Architecture.
An exploratory discourse into the intricate dynamics of architectural 3D printing, with a particular emphasis on large scale particle bed 3D printing. The talk spotlights the hurdles that lie in transforming these technologies from a conceptual stage to an industrial scale. It unpacks the myriad challenges encountered in the usage of alternative binders and sustainable materials like wood, clay, and other biomaterials in additive manufacturing. Central to this discussion are the critical parameters that come into play when scaling technology
for wider application, shedding light on the complex realities faced when bringing these innovations to life in actual architectural projects. This talk is a deep dive into the practical, economic, and sustainability considerations that form the bedrock of architectural innovation, aimed at navigating the turbulent waters of scale and sustainability in the architecture industry.
