Particle Trail 2.0 – Stone 3D Printing

Process Development: Pietro Odaglia

Design Team: Michael Davis, Alessandro Premier, Sarosh Mulla

Year: 2024

Exhibited at Marmomac 2024

Inspired by bone structures and natural growth patterns, Particle-Trail 2.0 merges computational design and biomimicry to shape modular, high-performance architectural elements. Its geometry enables novel spatial applications with minimal material use. Developed at DBT – ETH Zurich, the custom 3D printing process reclaims stone waste and uses an inorganic binder to achieve stone-like strength while minimizing carbon emissions and enabling circular fabrication. It was exhibited at Marmomac 2024 (Verona, Italy)
