MANUFACTURA, a Mexican company that describes itself as “a multidisciplinary design studio studying nature using vernacular systems and digital fabrication to meet a sustainable built future,” has created a new building engineering process that is both quick and eco-friendly.
That’s why MANUFACTURA decided to make use of a locally sourced, easily found, and lightweight waste product: eggshells to produce new constructions. When combined with bio-binders, the eggshells transform into a mixture that is able to solidify without the need of firing. The mixture is ideal for use in 3D printing.
The end result is an eggshell brick wall made of a total of 105 different blocks that are assembled based on their shape and an eggshell column made of 26 pieces that create stability through their shapes. The raw materials for the wall and column were sourced through the donation of waste from various restaurants in Mexico City over a period of two months.This new project combines computational design and digital manufacturing to transform waste into a useful and much-needed byproduct.
MANUFACTURA has successfully managed to introduce a new and eco-friendly manufacturing method that can lead to an environmentally-conscious circular system of producing and living. In the process, the firm is also introducing new sources of employment.
