Tiny 3-D Printed Building Shares Its Energy With an (Also 3-D Printed) SUV
They called it the Additive Manufacturing Integrated Energy Structure, a mouthful more easily called AMIE 1.0. The unusual design, which was a collaborative effort five years in the making, expresses several intriguing ideas about fabrication methods and energy use. It’s one of the largest carbon fiber structures ever created with a 3-D printer—a method that resulted in very little waste—and shares energy with the SUV, which also was 3-D printed. The project offers a glimpse at how architects think we might live off-the-grid in the future.
