3D Printed Structure, KnitCandela, was produced by combining concrete and 3D-Knitting

3D Printed Structure, KnitCandela, was produced by combining concrete and 3D-Knitting

Concrete and 3D Knitting Combine to Produce KnitCandela 3D Printed Structure

From 3Dprint.com by Clare Scott, Oct 31, 2018

In Mexico City, a strange structure has been erected – it looks a bit like a crouching frog, or maybe an exotic flower. It was built using a special 3D knitting technique developed at ETH Zurich. The structure, called KnitCandela, is partially made from concrete, but its formwork is a knitted textile supported by a steel cable-net. The project, an homage to Spanish-Mexican architect Felix Candela, is a collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects Computation and Design Group and Architecture Extrapolated. A 3D Printed Structure

3D knitting has been used before to produce things like clothing and furniture, but it isn’t often seen on this large of a scale. It took 36 hours for an industrial knitting machine to produce the shuttering of the formwork for the shell structure, following a digital pattern. The fully shaped, double-layered textile was knitted in four long strips, with the lower layer forming the visible ceiling. The upper layer contains sleeves for the cables of the formwork system and pockets for balloons. After the structure is coated in concrete, the balloons are popped, leaving hollow spaces that help save on material and weight.

The structure was erected in the courtyard of a museum; the knitted formwork was tensioned between a temporary boundary frame and sprayed with a specially formulated cement mixture, just a few millimeters thick. Once it hardened, conventional fiber-reinforced concrete was applied. The knitted fabric, which was brought to Mexico City inside normal suitcases, weighs about 25 kilograms and the cable around 30 kilograms. Together, they are able to support more than five tonnes of concrete.

KnitCandela’s technology was developed by Mariana Popescu, a doctoral student with Philippe Block, Professor of Architecture and Structure at ETH Zurich, and Lex Reitier, a doctoral student with Robert Flatt, Professor of Physical Chemistry of Building Materials. The technology is an evolution of the flexible forming technology developed for the HiLo roof, which the Block group developed for Empa’s NEST research and innovation building in 2017. Unlike the HiLo roof, which was made of a network of cables and a sewn textile, KnitCandela’s knitted shell was produced in one go.

Using knitted textiles in construction simplifies the construction process for complex shapes, and also cuts down on material, labor and waste. It’s a lot faster, too.

“It took only five weeks from the initial work until completion – much less time than if we were using conventional technology,” said Matthias Rippmann, project manager for KnitCandela and senior researcher in the Block Research Group.

While 3D printing is being pursued with interest in the construction industry right now, 3D knitting is a new idea, but a promising one. Giant robotic 3D printers aren’t required for 3D knitting a structure like KnitCandela, either – all that is needed is a conventional knitting machine.

“Knitting offers a key advantage that we no longer need to create 3D shapes by assembling various parts,” said Popescu. “With the right knitting pattern, we can produce a flexible formwork for any and all kinds of shell structures, pockets and channels just by pressing a button.”

The Triple Helix is a kinetic installation by @ruebenmargolin - 2013 The installation has 1027 hexagonal wood blocks, a welded steel frame, three aluminum helices and a polycarbonate matrix with 9280 pulleys. The sheer number of parts combined with a high level of precision almost got the better of me, but served to dramatically increase both the fluidity and variability. The combined amplitude is greater than the diameter, resulting in a continuous wavescape of steep contours and smooth curves. The forms are mathematically complex, full of unexpected saddles and peaks. At the same time its sensuousness reminds me of traditional figure drawing: I keep wanting to get a pad of paper and spend time studying each pose it takes. With three 40 Watt electric motors, the Triple Helix is almost completely silent and contains nothing digital. Decisions about lighting, whether it should be on legs or fully suspended, and even the ideal height for it, are best determined with its final home in mind.

Knitcrete or a 3D knitted framework complete with a thin layer of concrete. It allows for unique shapes and designs that concrete couldn’t normally be shaped into without expensive forms and for more organic designs. You can read more about it in the link. The most interesting thing about however, besides its amazing organic form, is that it reduces wasteful practices in current design systems.

Instalación KnitCandela.

De todas las exposiciones en el MUAC, destaco la de Zaha Hadid Architects, porque es la que más se relaciona con el diseño industrial, ya que para lograr este tipo de estructuras, un grupo de Zurich creó un molde de deformación de patrones de tejido.

El Knit-Crete es un sistema de cimbra ligero y fácil de montar, se usa para geometrías doblemente curvadas negativamente. Combina los tejidos tridimensionales con recubrimientos de cemento para crear una cimbra ahogada muy ligera. Las ventajas de este sistema son: 

Ahorro de materiales

Reducción de mano de obra

Viabilidad para la construcción de estructuras de concreto compleja.

Este tipo de sistemas pueden favorecer la producción y ensambles, no solo para construcciones, sino para otro tipo de diseños. Probablemente, esta base podría reproducirse para el diseño en el sector médico, como prótesis con geometrías complejas.
