Paper in architecture: The role of additive manufacturing
The introduction of Additive Manufacturing (AM) brought transformative approaches for the building industry by the development of new systems and the exploration of new components with complex geometries. This paper intends to demonstrate the different AM Techniques in Architecture by mixing different materials, such as cellulose and starch. The research focus on the ecological potentials and limitations of a completely biodegradable material, cellulose – polysaccharide present on plant walls – for architecture using 3D printing techniques. The sensitive nature of this project is to take advantage of the potential of cellulose, an abundant, recyclable and biodegradable material, while transforming into a pulp for application in 3D printing for generation of new models taking advantage of the potentialities of the techniques in AM. ; This work has the financial support of the Exploratory Research Project, with the reference MIT EXPL/ISF/0006/2017, MIT Portugal-2017 Program, financed by National Funds, through FCT / MCTES. We thank to RAIZ – Institute Research of Florest and Paper, for their support and partnership in this research, namely through the supply of cellulose. We are grateful to the Institute of Design of Guimarães for hosting and supporting the Advanced Ceramics R&D Lab on the use of their facilities and equipment.
