The Design
About Oberhauser's Ballon Lucerna Externa
Oberhauser Ballon lucerna externa est, tribus magnitudinibus facta, diametris XXX cm, LXX cm et C cm. Lucerna ex caemento fabricatur per impressionem tridimensionalem concreti in strato pulveris, methodo quae etiam Intrusio Pastae Selectiva appellatur. In hoc processu, pasta caementicia in stratum pulveris iniicitur, et forma stratum super stratum aedificatur. Nulla forma sustinens requiritur, itaque geometriae complexae et subtiles produci possunt. Materia tempestatibus valde resistens est ideoque usui externo apta. Usus materiae efficax residua inter productionem limitat.

- 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.
