In a collaboration between Ukrainian-German startup LEMKI Robotix and German 3D printing expert iScale3D, the world’s first 3D-printed mobile home, DISCOVER 3D, has been unveiled. This innovative camper, manufactured using advanced Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF) technology, promises to revolutionise eco-friendly housing solutions.
The mobile home is made from a composite material that combines recycled polypropylene, equivalent to the plastic from around 7,400 bottles, with fibreglass for added strength and durability. This sustainable approach helps reduce production time and costs and opens the door to the mass production of environmentally friendly homes.
The DISCOVER 3D camper is created with KUKA robotic systems and proprietary software, ensuring the precision needed for large-scale component production. Its 3D printing process enables a build volume of 3200 x 3200 x 8000 mm, creating sturdy, reliable elements. The camper weighs just 250 kg, and its hull, reinforced with fibreglass, features 9mm thick walls. Its aerodynamic design is engineered to minimise wind resistance, making it easier to tow while ensuring structural integrity and durability. The camper is 80% recyclable, reinforcing its strong commitment to sustainability.
The DISCOVER 3D is designed for off-grid living and provides accommodation for up to three people. It features autonomous battery power, compatibility with solar panels, and integrated sensors to monitor temperature, water levels, and energy usage. This adaptability makes it ideal for varying environmental conditions.
Inside, the camper offers a sleeping nook, kitchenette, and versatile storage solutions designed with space efficiency and thermal insulation in mind. With this cutting-edge camper, LEMKI Robotix is paving the way for a future where sustainable mobile housing solutions are accessible to a wider audience.
