ETH Zurich casts intricate metal facade in a 3D-printed mould

- Students from ETH Zurich have pioneered a method of casting complex, one-off architectural structures from metal in a 3D-printed mould.
Deep Facade, a six-metre-high aluminium structure with ribbons of metal looped in an organic fashion that recalls the folds of the brain's cerebral cortex, is the first metal facade cast in a 3D-printed mould.
The facade was created by students of the Digital Fabrication course working with senior ETH Zurich researcher Mania Aghaei Meibodi, whose research explores how 3D printing can be used to create bespoke metal building elements.
Deep Facade follows on from another innovative work created by last year's students - the Digital Metal Pavilion, which Aghaei Meibodi says was the first metal architectural structure of any kind to make use of a 3D-printed mould.
The use of 3D printing in this way is significant as it provides a quicker, more cost-effective way to manufacture complex forms for custom architecture.

Yes, these things worth building them but the chaotic algorithm should be fully controlled to patterns that obeys geometric order. Either way the work is done and it works. I am more classical with my design approaches.
it wasn't that intricate
But it was beautiful
Isn't this what Herzog & de Meuron did at 40 Bond Street 10-15 years ago? What kind of technology did they use to cast the mold?
I like to work with something that involves design but technical. Are they in architecture field?
I'd like to see this idea tried using electroforming as it may be quicker, as well as far more energy and material efficient. 3D print in a plastic that can be melted and reused later, then coat the 3D form with graphite "ink" before electrochemical deposition of metal, with the ideal being titanium (yes my research suggests it is possible, but perhaps patented?). Once the metal shell is formed the plastic an be melted so that it can be recycled, leaving a very strong, lightweight, structure that has a very long life when exposed to the elements, but which itself can be recycled at the end of the building's life.
Daniel Matthews genius! Practical, yet ambitious and Innovative
It’s ugly.
Elegant art!
First of all, LOL @ NIMURODO for saying it's ugly! Nice way to break up the monotony of praise! Second, I think that with a few tweaks this could be a fantastic idea for a storm door! Keep at it!
Wow. 💜
lindo!!!!
