Designers Philipp Aduatz & Dominik Freynschlag and Incremental3D build a 3D printed film studio in Austria

As part of this project, Aduatz, Incremental3D and set designer Dominik Freynschlag worked together, and achieved a total of 10 work steps using a 3D concrete printing process from a special mortar based on white cement.

The wall consists of a total of 60 individual segments, with 6 parts each stacked to form a segment in height. All individual parts are screwed together in each horizontal plane, so the wall can be completely disassembled and is also operationally safe during use. The main part of the lighting system are 14 LED strips inserted horizontally into prefabricated joints, which can be controlled by the RGB colour space in a variety of colours and colour gradients. By replacing the print layers with LED strips of the same thickness, the lighting technology could be perfectly integrated into the design. All LED elements are connected to the rest of the studio lighting via computer-aided control, creating an almost unlimited number of colour combinations.https://3dadept.com/designers-philipp-aduatz-dominik-freynschlag-and-incremental3d-build-a-3d-printed-film-studio-in-austria/
