US Navy Releases First Advanced Manufacturing Strategy: Additive Manufacturing Becomes a Priority

Have you ever seen a 3D printed public toilet?


Amid the development of green buildings and intelligent infrastructure, Luzhou, Sichuan, recently opened an intelligent public toilet, which has attracted the attention of many central media such as Xinhua News Agency and financial channel CCTV. These public toilets integrate concrete 3D printing, modular assembly of steel structures and digital media technology, which not only significantly shortens the construction period and reduces the impact of construction on the environment, but also provides convenient services to citizens while becoming a multifunctional information system. display platform.


Due to the complex environmental conditions around the Chunyu Road public toilet, with height differences, old trees and a small area of ​​the site, the renovation is extremely difficult. The Municipal Law Enforcement Bureau of Urban Management held several discussions to study the renovation plan, and after careful consideration, decided to adopt the honeycomb intelligent public toilet plan. As a classic geometric aesthetic in the organic world, honeycomb shape is one of the organic combination methods of modular space. It has good applicability and coordination for the renewal of small urban micro-spaces.

Although the honeycomb smart public toilet is small and well-equipped, it covers a total area of ​​about 60 square meters. Each honeycomb module unit covers an area of ​​approximately 9 square meters. The interior space includes an ecologically furnished fireplace. entrance leisure platform and barrier-free toilet seats/maternal and child room, two sets of independent bathroom units, workers’ lounge and control room, outdoor tri-fold high-definition large screen and other functions of service. At a later stage, modular units can be added or replaced flexibly as needed to meet various toilet needs.


Honeycomb Smart Public Toilet is a modular assembly building module. Analysis of the digital model is used in the design process and it is disassembled into shared module units.Architectural Concrete 3D Printing Technology. Using a smart robot arm, environmentally friendly, low-carbon substrates, such as industrial solid waste, are used as printing composite materials to pre-print and shape building modules, which are then transported and hoisted to the ground as a whole.


It not only demonstrates the advantages of architectural 3D printing technology, but also combines steel structure and digital media technology, which not only saves time and resources, but also provides citizens with services smarter audiences. In addition, there are many application cases of 3D printing in construction in China, such as the soon-to-be-unveiled “Wings of Xiong’an” in Xiongan New District, 3D printed residential buildings in Songzhuang Village, Gucheng County, Hebei, and the 3D printed commercial building “Mars Nest Residence” in Gansu officially opened for business. Such applications are gradually changing the way the traditional construction industry works and providing more opportunities for the construction of urban infrastructure.
