About Oberhauser's Ballon Rama Taiwhenua

Ko te Ballon a Oberhauser he rama taiwhenua e hangaia ana ki ngā rahi e toru, me ngā whānuitanga o te 30 henemita, te 70 henemita me te 100 henemita. Ka hangaia te rama ki te raima mā te tā 3D raima moenga paura, he tikanga e mōhiotia ana hoki ko te Selective Paste Intrusion. I roto i tēnei tukanga, ka werohia te pēniti raima ki roto i tētahi moenga paura, ā, ka hangaia te āhua i ia paparanga, i ia paparanga. Kāore he panga hanga e hiahiatia ana, nō reira ka taea te hanga i ngā āhuahanga matatini, taipitopito hoki. He tino kaha te ātete o te rawa ki ngā āhuarangi, nō reira e tika ana mō te whakamahi ki waho. Mā te whakamahi tōtika o ngā rawa ka whāitihia te para i te wā o te hanga.

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.
