World’s first 3D printed film studio by Philipp Aduatz

The Casinos Austria and Austrian Lotteries Group commissioned Philipp Aduatz for the design and realization of the first 3D printed film studio. In collaboration with set designer Dominik Freynschlag and 3D concrete printing manufacturer incremental3d, a new and innovative application was realized through a unique structure using additive manufacturing and the latest LED technology. 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. Due to its material-saving properties, concrete 3D printing is considered a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete construction methods. Components produced by additive manufacturing with concrete are not only suitable for building construction applications, but also offer completely new creative qualities and possibilities in interior design, particularly in the combination with LED-technology as this project demonstrates. The wall has a total weight of kg. The external dimensions of the wall are: 630 cm width, 330 cm depth, 230 cm height. Video by Florian Kröppel
