China3D printingNet, April 21, Italy3D printingThe machine manufacturer WASP and Mario Cucinella Architects (MCA) have officially completed the3D printingThe successful production and installation of the ecologically sustainable housing model.
TECLA adopts a completely carbon-neutral design, can adapt to any climate or conditions around the world, and is made of completely recyclable materials. The eco-house was developed in response to climate emergencies and the growing demand for sustainable housing in preparation for large-scale migration or natural disasters.
Of this 18-month joint project3D printingThe phase was completed in January, and the sustainable building has now been fully installed and officially opened in the Massa Lombarda area in northern Italy.
Massimo Moretti, the founder of WASP, said: “TECLA shows that it is possible to use machines to build beautiful, healthy and sustainable houses and provide the necessary information for local raw materials. TECLA is a finger pointing to the moon. The moon is the earth. Everyone’s home is an inherent right. Since TECLA, this has become possible.”

Design TECLA
WASP was founded by Moretti in 2012 to develop a feasible construction process based on the principles of circular economy.The company believes that the use of locally sourced materials3D printingThe so-called “zero mile” houses can play a key role in solving the global population crisis.
WASP and MCA started planning the TECLA ecological residence in October 2019. The foundation of the building is the study of the School of Sustainable Development established by Cucinella, the Architect Training Center.
WASP used Crane WASP before 3D printingThe machine has successfully built a small eco-house for its Shamballa project, which is an eco-friendly technology village in Italy built using resource-rich additive manufacturing technology.
The building, called Gaia, uses the unprocessed soil of the surrounding area as the main binder for printable materials, mixed with natural waste materials such as plant fibers. Last October, WASP collaborated with the Rossana Orlandi Gallery in Milan to showcase the project as part of the gallery’s “We Are Nature” event.
Using the successful experience of the Gaia project, WASP and MCA created TECLA self-supporting habitable structures in almost the same way, stacking reusable materials (such as local soil) layer by layer to form a dome shape Buildings.

3D printingBio-based houses
WASP again uses its modularity and multi-layer Crane WASP 3D printingSystem to manufacture TECLA structure, using completely natural and locally sourced raw materials as raw materials.
Two synchronized robotic printer arms simultaneously deposit material in 12 mm layers, which have been programmed to avoid collisions and ensure simplified operation. Each modular printing unit can print in an area of 50 square meters, so that a separate housing module can be built within a few days.
In fact, this technology enables the TECLA shell model to be completed in approximately 200 hours of printing time, including 350 12mm layers and 150km extrusion, which consumes only 6kw of energy.
In its finished state, TECLA has an area of 60 square meters, including a living area with kitchen and a night area. The building is also equipped with some furniture, some of which are printed from the local earth and integrated into the structure, and some are designed to be recyclable.
“We like that TECLA is the beginning of a new story,” said Mario Cucinella, founder and creative director of MCA. “It will be extraordinary to shape the future by transforming this ancient material with the technology we have available today. The aesthetics of this house is the result of technical and material efforts. This is not just an aesthetic method.” “

Realize the circular house model
The TECLA project aims to combine research on architectural practices, bioclimatic principles, and the use of natural and local materials to meet the growing demand for sustainable housing. Therefore, TECLA is designed as a pioneer model of low-carbon housing.
In addition to considering aesthetics, MCA also explored the relationship between the shape of the building and the climate and latitude. The composition of the 3D printable earth mixture can be adjusted to adapt to local climatic conditions, and at the same time the envelope filling is optimized to balance the heat quality, insulation and ventilation of the building according to the environmental conditions around the building.
WASP and MCA hope that TECLA, which has been officially completed and installed at its Massa Lombarda plant, will provide a viable, zero-waste, low-carbon housing example and play an important role in solving the global housing emergency that the world will face in the next few years. In 2010, natural disasters, climate change and other events will cause large-scale migration of the global population.
