Markus Kayser - Solar Sinter Project (Official HD video)

In a world increasingly concerned with questions of energy production and raw material shortages, this project explores the potential of desert manufacturing, where energy and material occur in abundance.
In this experiment sunlight and sand are used as raw energy and material to produce glass objects using a 3D printing process, that combines natural energy and material with high-tech production technology.

Solar-sintering aims to raise questions about the future of manufacturing and trigger dreams of the full utilisation of the production potential of the worlds most efficient energy resource - the sun. Whilst not providing definitive answers this experiment aims to provide a point of departure for fresh thinking.

Loved the concept but a few more shots of the finished pieces would have been good.

awesome proof of concept.. scale this baby up any you could print houses! or giant bowls!

I like this amazing video. the another interesting part is the end, after sunset you have to package everything home.

@MarkusKayserDesign I'm working with solar energy and i'm trying to focus a lot of joules in a limited space just as you did in the video. So, how did you desing the glases for focus all that energy?

Thank you and great job ;)

that is amazing

you could build a house in the desert with that one day exellent job dude.
