TREED -
A COMPREHENSIVE EXPLORATION
OF AN INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION METHOD - BIOBASED 3D PRINTING.

Sustainable 3D printing innovation using wood-based biomaterials.

Our vision is to create and provide architects and the construction industry the freedom to design without limitations through innovative 3D printable wooden paste technology.

ABOUT US

We are Eindhoven University of Technology Built environment students within an Honors Academy project focused on developing sustainable printing technology.

MISSION

Our project aims to provide architects and the construction industry the freedom to design without limitations. Here at TreeD, we aim to make the creation of unique, non-traditional wooden parts possible through the development of a 3D printable wooden paste, an elaborated building technology!

over 

39%

of global carbon emissions come from buildings - both construction and operations.

over 

30%

of total global waste annually is linked to the construction industry.

only

1%

of buildings worldwide are currently considered "net-zero" in terms of energy consumption.

Problem Definition

The construction industry is currently limited by traditional timber and requires a solution to unlock new design possibilities of organic shapes; therefore, an unconventional building technology needs to be developed. We believe that our project could be the key solution to this problem: 3D printed wood!

We must act now.
