Launch of Versarien Lunar 3D printed lifestyle pods
Advanced material pioneer unveils 3D printed concrete construction using
Cementene™
Versarien plc, an advanced engineering materials group and provider of
graphene-enhanced cement admixture, today announces the launch of its "Lunar"
lifestyle pods designed with sustainability and innovation at the core. Lunar
is Versarien's first 3D printed concrete product made with Cementene™,
Versarien's graphene-enhanced cement.
The launch will see Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien, unveil a building
printed with Cementene™, at the Company's production facilities in Longhope,
Gloucestershire. Known as Versarien Lunar, this is a milestone project for a
3D-concrete printed product with a graphene additive. The versatile pods can
be used as an office, studio, gym, or leisure room. The pod's wall design
shows the level of detail, flexibility and precision that can be achieved with
3D-concrete printing.
The launch of Lunar comes at a time where sustainability in construction has
never been more scrutinised.
(https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/feb/25/concrete-the-most-destructive-material-on-earth)
The industry accounts for around 8% of global CO(2) emissions and would be
third for emissions in the world if it were a country, behind only the US and
China. Since fewer materials are needed to achieve the same structural
performance as ordinary concrete, incorporating graphene into concrete can
enable faster completion of buildings, reducing costs and the carbon
footprint.
Neill Ricketts, CEO of Versarien commented,
"This launch represents the first application of a technology that has the
potential to change the way the world views construction. Lunar doesn't just
provide convenience for homeowners but can also be used for on-site fast
construction in commercial and emergency relief situations. Versarien is
driving this innovation and we look forward to seeing the impact this
technology can have in the world around us."
Versarien will be holding an event on 9 March 2022 to showcase a prototype
Lunar unit, showing attendees around the features and specifications.
