2. Lightweave: Designed by SOM, Lightweave is a public art installation in San Francisco that uses 3D printed panels to create a dynamic, ethereal facade that changes color and pattern as the light shifts throughout the day.
3. Amager Resource Center: This waste-to-energy plant in Copenhagen, designed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), features an undulating facade made up of 1.2-meter-wide aluminum panels that were 3D printed to exact specifications.
4. Elytra Filament Pavilion: Another example of a 3D printed pavilion, the Elytra Filament Pavilion was created by the University of Stuttgart's Institute for Computational Design and Construction. The pavilion uses a robot to 3D print a web-like structure made up of thousands of fibers.
