BigRep champions circular economy approach with 3D printed urban and insect habitat installation project
BigRep has launched a 3D printed urban and insect habitat installation project which will use 100% recycled plastic materials. Four BigRep One machines are currently in operation at the Thaersaal of Humboldt University creating the GENESIS Eco Screen, which will feature an embedded water and drainage system to facilitate plants and insects. The project is being led by BigRep’s NOWLAB innovation hub and Berlin-based artist Lindsay Lawson to showcase the potential of 3D printing as a sustainable means of manufacture. The public will have open access to watch the four printing system as the build is ongoing.
