On the occasion of the latest edition of the Green Concept Award, a very interesting project was presented to the public. Let's talk about C-Ecology, an ecosystem 3D printed which aims to revitalize the rivers of cities.
Before concentrating on the description of the project, let's dedicate a few lines to the explanation of the “Green Concept” Award. This recognition is assigned by the organization Green Future Club, with the aim of rewarding those who demonstrate interesting ideas in favor of environmental sustainability. In particular, the call is aimed above all at young designers and students, as well as all new start-ups. The Green Club focuses on young minds, who more than once have proven themselves capable and attentive to environmental problems.
A 3D printed ecosystem to help the environment
C-Ecology is a project created by students of the university of tunghai in Taiwan.
The final product relies on an in ceramic 3D printed, can adapt to rivers of various sizes. It performs the function of a new "coral reef", offering new refuges to aquatic organisms.
Through these innovative 3D printed structures, C-ecology will create a new wetland ecosystem within rivers.
Uber alles 3D printing
3D printing allows you to easily choose the size and depth of the object, adapting the project to all rivers. The ceramic modules are environmentally friendly, so as not to interfere with life in the waters.
They then sit on the surface of the water to provide nutrients, creating an artificial barrier capable of welcoming all organisms.
According l 'Tunghai University, the project could help improve the ecosystem in rivers in all cities. Through modifying certain details, this 3D printed system could easily adapt to rivers in any region.
At the moment, C-ecology has been nominated among the top 8 entries awarded at the Green Concept Award 2022. The official winner will be announced today, February 25, 2022.
