How we split the Villa De Savoye model?
Level 1
-
We printed the first storey by printing the base with columns and the interior partition walls as it does not requires supports
-
After that, we printed the exterior wall of the first storey separately to reduce supports and reduce the probability of printing out spaghetti
-
We printed the staircase separately as well to reduce the needs of supports
Level 2
-
For the second storey, we printed the interior partition walls along with the floor slab together as it does not require supports
-
After that, we printed the exterior facade of the second storey as there are many holes and windows that has intricate supports that need to be carefully removed
-
We printed the staircase and ramps separately to speed up print time and reduce the chances of a failed print
Roof
-
For the roof, we printed the roof slab along with the walls that are around the rooftop garden and the planter boxes on the rooftop garden as it does not require supports
-
We printed the stair core separately and upside down to reduce the need for supports and cut down print time
