According to The Slovak Spectator, Bratislava has welcomed the city\u2019s first-ever 3D printed bus stop \u2013 located on Harmincova Street in the D\u00fabravka borough. Completed in early April, the bus stop is the result of a collaboration between the architectural studio Architekti \u0160ebo Lich\u00fd and ITB Development \u2013 the investor behind the nearby \u010cere\u0161ne residential project \u2013 as well as Collarch and the Czech company ICE Industrial Services, which handled the 3D printing<\/a> of the concrete components.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project presented an opportunity for us to test a new technological approach \u2013 concrete 3D printing<\/a> \u2013 which allows for the creation of complex geometries without the need for formwork,\u201d the architects wrote on their website. \u201cExperimentation and innovation are always a challenge, but in this case \u2013 a public space project, and one as heavily used as a public transport stop \u2013 the stakes are even higher, which is why thorough testing was essential.\u201d<\/p>\n

The structure is composed of just four main elements, significantly reducing material consumption, waste, and environment<\/a>al impact. The design prioritised functionality, ergonomics, and aesthetics. The concrete form, with its sharply defined lines and wall openings, interacts with light and is illuminated in the evenings. The bus stop is also intended to be durable, long-lasting, and low-maintenance.<\/p>\n

The project is the culmination of several years of cooperation, with ICE Industrial Services managing its realisation. \u201cThis was the very first time we printed a five-metre-wide arch directly onto a pre-printed mould,\u201d said Michal Ma\u010duda from ICE Industrial Services. \u201cAs far as we know, this is a unique achievement \u2013 we haven\u2019t seen anything like it done anywhere else in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Duality\u2019 column adds some color to 3D printed concrete: <\/a>While most 3D printed concrete structures we see today are uniform grey, Duality shows a new and more colorful avenue for concrete finishes. The experimental sculpture was developed by assistant professor Cristina Nan from TU Eindhoven and architect Mattia Zucco, with support from Dutch 3D printing company Vertico and is part of the larger Time. Space. Existence. Exhibition. The coloration of the concrete material was achieved using pigments from German chemical company Lanxess.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
