Chair N°ONE: 3D-Printed Concrete Chair

By
Chair N°ONE is one of a pioneering series of 3D printed concrete chairs developed by Studio Oberhauser. It features a one-of-a-kind and forward-looking design while utilising innovative high-resolution concrete jetting technique (also known as selective cement activation). This innovative approach delivers a chair that is not only lightweight but also extremely robust, making it appropriate for prolonged use in a variety of environments. Chair N°ONE is an amazing showcase of the potential of 3D printing to revolutionise the furniture industry.

Chair N°ONE's designer, Martin Oberhauser, was driven to build the chair's distinctive structures and patterns by the natural patterns that he observed in the environment around him. The production method makes use of a 3D printing technique, which enables the fabrication of personalised designs for each chair. These patterns can be printed directly into the chair. These patterns offer visual distinctiveness and are recognisable elements of design.

The process of creating Chair N°ONE places a considerable emphasis on being kind to the natural world in which it was created. The chair's base is constructed of recycled glass, and it is printed as a single, structurally solid piece to ensure that the surface is totally smooth. This process, which is kind to the natural world, not only reduces the amount of trash produced but also assures that the final product suffers no degradation in terms of its capacity to support its own structure.


Chair N°ONE is a prototype that exhibits the possibility of combining cutting-edge 3D printing technology, eco-friendly materials, and the principles of biomimetic design. It is suitable for use in both home and business settings, as well as indoors and outdoors.

Chair N°ONE has not only been honoured with the prestigious Red Dot Award, but it also just took home the title of "Best Chair of the Year" at the 2022 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture and Lighting.

As a whole, Chair N°ONE is a noteworthy example of how the application of 3D printing technology to the design of furniture may advance significantly. It is an appealing alternative for anyone who is in the market for a one-of-a-kind and elegant piece of furniture due to the fact that it combines the features of utility, the potential to be customised, and environmental sustainability.

G-Code is an important part of 3D printing. Without it, your 3D printer wouldn't be able to print anything. Even now, a lot of people don't know what it is or how it works. In this blog, I'll talk more about what G-Code is and how it fits into 3D printing. By the end of this blog, you should know more about G-Code and how it works in the 3D printing process. What does G-Code mean? G-Code is a programming language that is used to control modern manufacturing equipment like CNC machines, 3D printers, and Laser Cutters. It is a list of commands that tell the machine how to move and what to do, like extrude material or change the temperature of the print head or change the bed temperature . In 3D printing, the slicer software takes your 3D model (an STL or OBJ file) and turns it into a set of instructions that the printer can understand. This is called G-Code. The instructions are then sent to the printer, which follows them layer by layer to make the final 3D-printed obj...
