Production Technology
The material used is characterized by its high weather resistance, making the Oberhauserer's Balloon ideal for outdoor use. By employing smart manufacturing technologies, resource-efficient and sustainable production is ensured. 3D concrete printing allows for efficient material usage and waste minimization, leading to a reduced ecological footprint.
Inspiration
The production of the Oberhauserer's Balloon utilizes the powder bed concrete 3D printing process, also known as Selective Paste Intrusion (SPI). In this method, a cement paste is selectively injected into a powder bed, creating complex and detailed structures layer by layer. This technique eliminates the need for traditional formwork, facilitating the creation of intricate geometries and significantly expanding design freedom.
