Yingchuang-Country Companion reached cooperation to build beautiful countryside with 3D printing technology

3D printing is also called additive manufacturing. It is based on a digital model file of parametric design, and uses powdery materials in combination with bonding or sintering to build objects by printing layer by layer. In terms of architecture, it is especially suitable for complex, irregular, personalized, and diverse practical applications.

The village companion traveler has been cultivating rural construction for many years, and found that one of the biggest differences between rural and urban architecture is the fragmentation of land and the diversification of the construction environment. Rural buildings need to be personalized in all aspects, resulting in uncontrollable overall design and construction costs. How to achieve high-quality delivery at a controlled cost in this context? Until encountering 3D printing construction technology, the trouble of designers and builders finally saw the dawn.

Yingchuang Architectural Technology is a global leader in 3D printed construction, and is a high-tech enterprise that realized large-scale 3D printed construction earlier in the world. The “Future Office” built by Yingchuang for Dubai in 2016 was included in the Guinness Book of Records and is the world's first 3D printed commercial building.

During the anti-epidemic period, Yingchuang printed 15 isolated houses for Hubei in one day, which refreshed people's perception of the fast and efficient 3D printed buildings.

After more than three months of exchanges and communication, the country partners and Yingchuang both highly recognized the huge potential and future of 3D printed buildings in China's rural construction, and have reached cooperation intentions for systematic application with several project sites such as Zhejiang and Guangdong. Based on this, the two parties signed a strategic cooperation agreement on March 26 in the rural village of Jijiadun Ideal Village, and established a joint venture company to jointly invest in this emerging innovation market.

The leaders of both sides, including Zhu Shengxuan, Chairman of Xiangban Group, and Ma Yihe, Chairman of Yingchuang Group, attended the signing ceremony.

In the field of construction, compared to traditional construction methods, 3D printing has four major technical advantages:

customizable

——Under diversified needs, it not only meets the individual needs of the village, but also reduces complex construction management and quality consistency issues;

Environmental protection

——In the aspect of building printing, it can make full use of local materials (such as rammed soil, bamboo and wood) and solid waste materials for old building demolition;

Efficient

Efficient-printing efficiency is high, a house can be completed within 24 hours, from proofing to final presentation, the efficiency will be improved;

High artistic presentation

——3D printing can support the presentation of complex shaped structures and surface textures at a very low cost, which provides designers with an unprecedentedly wide space to fully exert their imagination and create design beauty that is highly integrated with the environment.

We can expect that the strong design gene of the village companion and the profound engineering technology accumulation of Yingchuang will create unprecedented beautiful new buildings for the Chinese countryside.
