In Brief

Italian and Swiss companies have 3D-printed a camper van from recycled PET. The module, over four meters long and weighing 660 kg, was produced by a robotic arm in four days.

Italian and Swiss companies have jointly created a camper van fully 3D-printed from recycled plastic (PET). The module, over four meters long and weighing approximately 660 kg, was produced by a robotic arm in four days, significantly faster than traditional manufacturing.

The structure is monolithic, with utilities integrated directly into the walls during printing. The project showcases the potential of large-scale 3D printing for creating load-bearing vehicle structures.
