About Oberhauser's Ballon Lebone la Kantle

Ballon ea Oberhauser ke lebone la kantle le hlahisoang ka boholo bo bararo, ka bophara ba 30 cm, 70 cm le 100 cm. Lebone lena le entsoe ka samente ho sebelisoa mokhoa oa khatiso ea 3D ea konkreite ea powder bed, mokhoa o boetseng o tsejoang e le Selective Paste Intrusion. Ts'ebetsong ena, sekontiri sa samente se kenngoa ka har'a bethe ea phofo, 'me sebopeho se hahuoa ka lera le leng le le leng. Ha ho hlokahale sebopeho sa ho tšela (formwork), kahoo lipopeho tse rarahaneng le tse nang le lintlha tse ngata li ka hlahisoa. Thepa ena e mamella boemo ba leholimo haholo, kahoo e loketse tšebeliso ea kantle. Tšebeliso e sebetsang hantle ea thepa e fokotsa litšila nakong ea tlhahiso.

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.
