The quest continues to develop a 3D-printed enclosure that can be reproduced on-demand. The latest development comes from Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), which today debuted a 3D-printed shelter designed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge (Tenn.) National Laboratory (ORNL), as well as Maryville, Tenn.-based housing manufacturer Clayton Homes and the … Continued
The Additive Manufacturing Integrated Energy (AMIE) demonstration, displayed at DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Industry Day event, is a model for energy-efficient systems that link buildings, vehicles and the grid. The 38x12x13-foot building was designed by architecture firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM) through the University of Tennessee-ORNL Governor’s Chair for Energy … Continued
the oak ridge national laboratory (ORNL) worked with industrial partners to manufacture and connect a natural gas powered hybrid electric vehicle with a solar powered building to create an integrated energy system, or what they’re calling – additive manufacturing integrated energy’ or AMIE’ for short. the demonstration shows that power can flow in either direction … Continued
What if you could live and drive without having to depend on traditional energy or fuel? That’s what a new prototype from Oak Ridge National Lab means to do—and it brings new meaning to “off-grid” living. AMIE is a 3D-printed house equipped with solar panels and a 3D-printed utility car-together, they create an electrical symbiosis … Continued
