– Zoom –<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>Whether it is automotive engineering, furniture manufacturing or architecture \u2013 three-dimensional printing of functional work pieces is not only applied for prototypes, but is increasingly evolving into an industrial assembly method. Henkel Adhesive Technologies is continuously driving this trend through the development and formulation of materials. For example, the company is one of the partners of the Dutch design and architecture start-up DUS Architects. In close collaboration with Henkel and additional partners, DUS initiated the internationally well-known project of the canal house in Amsterdam in 2014. With the help of a giant 3D printer (installation space 2 x 2 x 3.5 meters) a house fa\u00e7ade including the interior walls made up of 42 components is to be printed and constructed by 2017.<\/p>\n

Even the fa\u00e7ade of the new \u201cEurope Building\u201d was designed by DUS. The individual elements \u2013 that are reminiscent of the diversity of Europe with their geometric order from small to big and from round to square \u2013 were manufactured by Henkel with hot melt adhesives based on renewable raw materials, and injected with concrete. The bioplastic material provides the individual components with high consistency and stability, and can easily be recycled \u2013 at the end of the EU Council Presidency the \u201cEurope Building\u201d will be dismantled.<\/p>\n

Henkel\u2019s hot melt adhesives are also being used for the first functional prototypes of 3D-printed furniture such as stools or lamp shades. In the competence center for the automotive industry at Heidelberg site in Germany Henkel is developing complex 3D-printed construction parts for international automakers that are being used as functional prototypes for the testing of novel acoustic and structural solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
