How 3D printing will democratise interior and architecture design
Hedwig Heinsman @Aectual Hour 13.00 - 14.00 CET
23 September
Over 2,000 years the fundamentals of buildings have not changed. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry is one of the most archaic and polluting industries in the world. Annually 10 Million+ commercial buildings change their architectural finishes and furniture - sending the old products to the dump. Digital tools, combined with digital manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and circular materials, will break this age-old paradigm and can give people worldwide, direct access to sustainable spaces: smart, beautiful, affordable, and on-demand.
