3D-PRINTED PURE PLANTS
3D-PRINTED PURE PLANTS
In the xhibited during Milan Design 2023, the studio has applied its expertise to the concept and design of Pure Plants — a collection of floral sculptures 3D-printed by Barceloba-based practice LaMáquina using an innovative material and large FDM 3D Printer capable of absorbing CO2 and thus purifying the air, either indoors or outdoors.
In the intersection between organic morphologies and new technologies, art and nature, and design and sustainability, has created a collection of 3d printing sculptures in the form of plants that evoke real species and can purify the air thanks to the use of Pure , materialized the Pure Plants designs using parametric design tools and 3D printing, enabling the transformation of the natural laws of phyllotaxis, a characteristic of leaves, into living sculptures. By combining Pure.Tech technology with PLA, a bioplastic made from corn dextrose (sugar), the team successfully created a 100% natural mineral compound that can absorb and neutralize CO2, nitrogen oxides (NOx), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
