14 DAY TRIAL // You'd think that after seeing strangeness like 3D printing pens that can draw bones, and all the other odd achievements of this past year, it'd be harder for such things to come across as a surprise, but Emerging Objects managed to reveal something gawk-worthy anyway.
The additive manufacturing startup company invented a solid structure out of 3D printed salt panels.
That's right, 336 translucent panels come together to make the intricate structure in that video up there. Emerging Objects describes it as “solid milk.”
The name of the pavilion is Saltygloo and “each panel recalls the crystalline form of salt and is randomly rotated and aggregated to create a larger structure where all tiles in the structure are unique.”
Emerging Objects hope that their idea will lead to greater projects, since they feel that 3D printing could be used to great effect in the making of building cladding systems and free-standing walls.
