This exhibition explores the design possibilities and implications of large-scale robotic 3D printing using recycled polymers, within the framework of algorithmic architectural design. By leveraging Big Area Additive Manufacturing (BAAM), this approach facilitates the mass customisation of complex forms through large-scale robotic 3D printing, while utilising locally recycled plastic to create a highly sustainable manufacturing process.

The exhibition highlights the innovative potential of large-scale 3D printing, with a focus on the local production of plastic waste, offering a sustainable approach to manufacturing.
