Imagine a housing system where the driving force behind the price of a house was simply the weight in material used to produce it, where the traditional house on the left cost the same as the elaborate house on the right. This is now the reality with

Orbital Road To reduce car traffic, orbit roads navigate around each cluster creating a safe and quiet internal environment.

Plot Size - Your plot, your rules. If you want space to park 2 cars outside your house, no problem. If you want a printed climbing frame for your children, no problem. As long as your planned work does not breach any of the rules within the rule book, you are free to include what you want.

KamerMaker Once your 3D printed house is delivered, the 3D printing does not need to stop. At the centre of each cluster is a KamerMaker 3D Printer, allowing you to print furniture and upgrades for your house easily, just meters from your front door.

Shared Pedestrian & Vehicle route, These shared spaces are proven to create safer spaces for pedestrians and help to form a safe and pleasant environment.

Plastic to Print Recycling Point. Each cluster has direct access to the plastic recycling point where plastics will be melted down and recycled into print filament to be used in the communal KamerMaker.

Why be limited to a 2 bed or a 3 bed home? Pick from - the 203, the 169 or the 101 - and shape it to suit your individual needs.

Step 3 // Pick Your Plot Choose from the available plots for each of the three volume sizes.

Step 4 // CustomisationWork alongside StadMaker to start shaping your truly individual printed home.

Step 5 // Internal CustomisationWhether you want to embrace plastic furniture or stick to something more traditional.

Step 6 // Material Choice Print material can be mixed with a library of different additives to get the colour and effect you are looking for. If you use recycled material you may even be eligible for a government grant.

Step 7 // Production and assembly Your 3D printed home is now ready to be assembled on site.

The System 21


System diagram

Clients can work along side a design team to help guide the production of customised elements.

As each house is customised and therefore different. There will be experiences to be taken from each house produced with improvements feed back into the system. Resulting in constant real time R&D which is current unachievable with current construction methods

This Diagram describes the process you will go through as a client in the process of designing and printing your very own home.

22


The design and Customisation system caters for the selection of the housing modules as well as the Customisation of elements or selection of pre designed elements from a database.

Within the printing stage, print materials can be selected and configured for printing. The weight of the printed produced can then be determined.

STADMAKER

Please refer to the separate rule book for a full explanation of all the rules.

_Rule Book

The Rule Book defines the elements and parameters for customisation within each of the three volumes. It is important to familiarise yourself with the rule book, but don’t worry, you will not be left alone to customise your home. The StadMaker team will work alongside you to ensure your design meets all the requirements of the rule book.

29


The rule book Examples

CUSTOMISATION RULE 00: Customisation freedom is catered for as long as the said customisation does not impact negatively on the final sustainable code rating.

01:

Customisation that aims to improve the sustainable code rating is encouraged and supported.

Rule 02: Wall Zones

Cust Surface

External walls consist of 3 key zones. The customisable zone, controlled zone and structural zone. Understanding these zones is the first key step in understanding how customisation takes places within your STADMAKER Home.

Structural Element Controlled surface servicing insulation

Wall depth

Rule 03: Customisation Depth

450 115

The standard depth of an external customised surface is 115mm. There is 300mm of additional customisation depth available. Any distance beyond this will extend too far into surrounding land. The nternal customisable depth is 60mm, however this includes only internal wall finish and does not take into account printed items such as storage and shelves. 300

450 Max Cust Depth

Rule 04: Window Location & Size The allowed location of windows are shown in white. No matter what the size of the allowed opening (in this example 3950mm) the maximum span of a single window is limited to 2000mm due to the nature of the construction. Other than this the shape of a window is not controlled.

3950

2000

30


Rule 07: Door Locations The allowed locations of external doors are shown in blue. Their positioning along this stretch will depend on your chosen interior layout. This is something your project Architects will work alongside you to set out.

Rule 08: Circulation Space The location of circulation space internally is not governed. However, circulation must be 1000mm at its narrowest point. This ensures housing meets the standards set out in Homes for Life.

Rule 10: Location of The Brain The location of the Brain is fixed. This allows for a set location for services to be installed on a plot and into a house. Brain

Rule 11: Location of Wet Services

31

Kitchens, toilets and bathrooms must share a wall with The Brain, or its riser on the above floor. This ensures a sensible and economical distribution of services.

Rule 11:Location of Wet Services Kitchens, Toilets and Bathrooms must share a wall with The Brain, or its riser on the above floor. This ensures a sensible and economical distribution of services.

32


The Brain is the only space with volumes that are predetermined. This is because it is the point at which services enter and exit your home. By keeping the Brain in the same place in every home, it makes the process of installation and maintenance more efficient. For technical information regarding the Brain please refer to step 7.

Customisation 53


How does it work?

Our state of the art software can take your photographs and images and translate them into a 3D form in 7 steps.

A brick Wall? We can print it

You like Erwin? We can copy it

Or you want to advertise you art On your house? We can do it

Step 1- Send us your image

Step 2- Translate image

Step 3- Select your volume

If you have a design in mind, whether it is your favourite piece or art or architectural style, simply email it to us atPrintville@stadmaker.co.uk

Our software will translate your images into a bitmap file. This allows us to set the level of extrusion based on the colour shade from white to black.

The 203, The 169 or The 101

Step 4- Scripted Design

Your selected design can then be applied to your chosen volume using o advanced script-based modeling tha has been developed in house.


our at

Step 5- Design consultation

Step 6- Printing

Step 7- Assembly

Through a series of design consultations, your design will be honed until you are happy.

Once the design has been finalised it can be sent to the on-site printers.

The printed elements will then be transported to site and assembled in less than one working week.


56


57


How does it work?

58


This method allows us to simply overlay your designs onto the predefined facade structural elements. This allows for infinite variation in design, whilst the structural system remains the same throughout. For more information on the structural system please see step 7.

Existing clients Client Bio Tom Gilmour- Artist. Tom is a artist who grew up in Runcorn. His tattoo-inspired art has led him to do work for numerous clothing lines as well as launching his own websitehttp://www.tomgilmour.com Tom was looking to design a house that was not only a personal statement but also a house that advertises his own work.

Bespoke artwork Tom created a bespoke piece of art that was drawn specifically to be turned into the facade of his future house. Working alongside Tom, we draped the artwork around the 169 volume to create a totally unique design.

“All i want is a traditional detached house with room for the grandchildren� Having lived in a rundown ex-council house that is being demolished as part of the PrintVille regeneration work, the Smiths have what many would consider a simple wish - and that is to have a traditional detached brick house.

Our adaptive solar facade panels are then placed into our environmental modeling software with the exact latitude and longitude co-ordinates. It then orientates them into individual facade elements to ensure each element is perfectly orientated to gain maximum solar energy.

74


3// The software ensures each element catches maximum solar rays without blocking solar rays from its neighbours This means that every single house designed using this software is unique. As the individual latitude and longitude co-ordinates ensure this individuality.

Green fingers Do you like growing your own food? What if you could grow potatoes in a wall that has been 3D printed in a bioplastic that contains 30% potato starch? With StadMaker you can!! For information on potato filament please see step 6

85


The Print Desk

Working from home? Or do you just enjoy printing? The print desk is an elegant 3D Printed desk that literally grows out of the walls it sits against. This may seem strange, but with 3D printing we can literally incorporate furniture into the walls and print them as a single element.

86


The Stairs

They don’t need to be normal. Stairs are often simply just a functional element. But they don’t need to be. With Stadmaker, a bespoke staircase costs the same as a plain one - you just pay for the material you print!

With this script we have devloped in house, we have taken a common 3D print error- under extrusion , and transformed it into a controlled method of creating beautiful and function partionwall and railing. 88


Not only is it more beautiful that a generic wall but it uses up to 70% less material due to its bone like structure. 89

Embrace the plastic

Here at StadMaker we hope you embrace the plastic in the same way as Dr Yvonne Grunder. Every item you can see in this photograph has been 3D printed specifically for the solar house. Dr Grunder was dedicated to maximise the use of recycled plastics within her design to gain the highest possible sustainability rating.

Or remain traditional

A StadMaker home does not need to look like something from the future. We understand that people have their own taste, style and favourite belongings. Therefore your StadMaker home does not have to have the look and feel of plastic. You can finish it with traditional materials or use special printing techniques to recreate traditional materials.

PLA - Poly(lactic acid) or polylactide A form of bio-plastic, particularly a biodegradable thermoplastic (under specific industrial conditions). It comes from renewable plant resources, such as corn starch, tapioca roots, sugarcane chips or any other high starch foods. In 2010, PLA had the second highest consumption volume of any bio-plastic of the world.

How do you add colour / materials? Base Material

Macromelt 6900E a non hazardous and biodegradable bio-plastic (biodegradable in specific conditions, not under normal use).

Additive material

If you can think of it we can add it (exclusion apply to hazardous additives or additives that could impact upon the structural integrity of the plastic).

Base Material Macromelt 6900E is a near translucent base material.

Additive MaterialRecycled car tyres This ratio of tyre pellets to Macromelt 6900E is all that is needed to change the colour of the plastic from translucent to a deep black. Additional tyre material can be added up to a value of 30% to bring out the texture and feel of rubber to the printed surface..

_Rule Book 163


What Will Your StadMaker House Look Like?

164


The Rules are not in place to stifle your creativity, but instead to ensure that a well rounded and deliverable design for your future home is achieved.

165


The Primary Rule CUSTOMISATION RULE 00: Customisation freedom is catered for as long as the said customisation does not impact negatively on the final sustainable code rating.

01:

Customisation that aims to improve the sustainable code rating is encouraged and supported.

166


The Rules Rule 01: The Plot

Rule 02: Entrance

Customisable Surface

Controlled surface servicing insulation

Rule 03: Wall Zones Structural Element

167

External wall consist of 3 key zones. The customisable zone, controlled zone and structural zone. Understanding these zones is the first key step in understanding how customisation takes places within your STADMAKER Home.


The Rules Wall depth

450

Rule 04: Customisation Depth The Standard depth of an external customised surface is 115mm. There is 300mm of additional customisation depth available. Any distance beyond this will extend too far into surrounding land. The Internal customisable depth is 60mm, however this includes only internal wall finish and does not take into account printed items such as storage and shelves.

115

300

275

60

115

450 Max Cust Depth

Rule 05: Window Location & Size The allowed location of windows are shown in white. No matter what the size of the allowed opening (In this example 3950mm) the maximum span of a single window is limited to 2000mm due to the nature of the construction. Other than this the shape of a window is not controlled.

3950

2000

Rule 06: Window Location Part 2 Windows are not allowed within either 250mm or 200mm (Volume Choice Dependant) of structural elements. This allows room for servicing to run vertically through the wall system.

250

168


The Rules Allowed Window location

Rule 07: Window Location by Orientation The percentage of Window to surface is limited depending of the orientation of a given facade surface. For example, the maximum percentage of opening on a south facing facade is 45% of the total surface. On a north facade this is reduced to 15%. This is to limit unnecessary heat loss and help achieve a code 6 sustainable home.

45% South

30% East // West

15% North

169


The Rules Rule 008: Door Locations The allowed locations of external doors are shown in blue. Their positioning along this stretch will depend on your chosen interior layout. This is something your project Architects will work along side you to set out.

Rule 09: Circulation Space

Living Space

Printed Storage Unit

The location of circulation space internally in not governed. What is governed is that circulation must be 1000mm at its narrowest point. This Ensures housing meets the standards set out in Homes for Life.

1000mm

Rule 10:Location of The Brain The location of the Brain is fixed. This allows for a set location for services to be installed on a plot and into a house.

Brain

Rule 11:Location of Wet Services Brain

WC

Kitchens, Toilets and Bathrooms must share a wall with The Brain, or its riser on the above floor. This ensures a sensible and economical distribution of services.

Eat

170


The Rules Rule 12:Location of Governed Items Some items such as stair cases will be governed to a set corner of a floor plan. This may be for a number of reasons. Although not a set rule we encourage stair cases to be located against the north facing facade, as it is sensible for it to be located areas with a lesser need for natural light.

Rule 13: Roof Angle Roof design requires more work along side a Stadmaker designer. To ensure designs are structurally sound. The main governing rule is that there must be a minimum roof angle of 2째 to ensure a sufficient angle for rain water run off.

Rule 14: Rain Water Collection Rain water collection can be integrated within the roof or even the facade panels, as DUS Architects have done for their house design. Rain water collection must always be located on the lowest side of the roof.

171


The Rules

Rule 15: Printed Junction The junctions between each printed panel must not altered through customisation. Their position and shape must be consistant throughout to ensure a small level of repetition that greatly increases the buildability and speed of the assembly.

172


The Rules

Rule 16: Impacting your neighbour Customisation must not negatively impact upon the neighbouring properties.

Rule 17: Inappropriate customisation Indecent customisation is not aloud. Although freedom of expression is encouraged, StadMaker must draw the line at a point to ensure a pleasant living environment for everyone.

173


Print Guides Encourage Discouraged

Unsupported Horizontal Surface These surfaces require support material to be printed in order to hold up the unsupported surface. This requires a considerable amount of material that will not be used in the finished item.

Inclined Surface These are encouraged as the material printed on the layer below supports the next layer to be printed meaning no unused support material is required.
