A 3D printing laboratory has been opened at the KNUBA Institute of Innovative Education

A laboratory of additive manufacturing technology has been opened at the KNUBA Institute of Innovative Education (IIE). It was created for research and practical application of 3D printing in architecture, design, and construction. 

The main goal of the laboratory is to give IIE students and instructors the opportunity to experiment with modern digital technologies, improve the presentation of ideas, and simplify design processes.

The laboratory is equipped with 3D printers, including the Bambu Lab P1S, which make it possible to create accurate, detailed models from various materials. Thanks to automatic calibration and high printing speed, these devices are ideally suited for architectural and design modeling.

The use of 3D printing opens up new opportunities for students:

• creating physical models of buildings, interiors, and urban environment objects;
• testing complex forms and structural solutions before they are implemented;
• rapid production of prototypes for comparing concepts.

Physical models created with 3D printing strengthen the presentation of architectural and design projects: they convey volume, proportions, and details better, add tactility, and, thanks to modularity, make it possible to demonstrate the internal structure of an object.
