The Design

About Oberhauser's Ballon Lámpara de exterior

El Ballon de Oberhauser es una lámpara de exterior producida en tres tamaños, con diámetros de 30 cm, 70 cm y 100 cm. La lámpara está fabricada en cemento mediante impresión 3D de hormigón en lecho de polvo, un método también conocido como Selective Paste Intrusion (intrusión selectiva de pasta). En este proceso, la pasta de cemento se inyecta en un lecho de polvo y la forma se construye capa por capa. No se requiere encofrado, por lo que es posible producir geometrías complejas y detalladas. El material es altamente resistente a la intemperie y, por tanto, apto para su uso en exteriores. El uso eficiente del material limita los residuos durante la producción.

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.
