Osaka Expo｜3D Printing Surprises Everywhere!

Osaka Expo is truly a paradise for 3D printing enthusiasts✨

Follow along the exhibition tour, the Japan Pavilion’s large-scale 3D printing system is incredibly impressive. The dual robotic arms called "Twin Cranes" collaborate to print chairs using algae-based materials, a process that looks like birds building a nest, full of clever domestic machine design ideas. Takenaka Corporation’s forest architecture features a main body printed with cellulose acetate resin made from wood, wrapped with Kansai seed paper, combining texture and eco-friendliness🌿

The WASP machine-printed rest area is also amazing! The materials come from a traditional earthen wall formula, mixing clay, straw, and more, with organic curves that touch the heart. Even some restroom components are 3D printed, a truly “local specialty” creative touch. VOID Island toilets, EarthMart food 3D printing, and Bahrain Pavilion TPU handbags—all hide 3D printing surprises!

3D printing applications at the Expo are extensive, from architecture to everyday items, full of creativity and sustainability concepts. Friends visiting, don’t miss these ingenious ideas—they will definitely open up new horizons!
