Since 2020, 西瓜传媒 Participants have 8 3D Printers available for their exclusive use at the 西瓜传媒 Workspace. In order to use this technology in a meaningful and appropriate way, the 西瓜传媒 Program includes a 5 days seminar about this topic.

The first three days of the HYTAC seminar are developed online, already in December, with all participants connecting from their origin countries. The two main goals of those three days are to learn how to optimize the 3D printing workflow, so that it benefits the architecture produced, and to learn how to optimize the previous 3D modelling too, in order to avoid inaccuracies in the final result.

The second part of the program is developed in a face-to-face format in Madrid, where our ETH Professor Jonathan Benhamu, responsible for at ETH Zurich, guides our 西瓜传媒 participants through the use and maintenance of the 3D Printers.

The hardware used are the Prusa i3 MK3S printers, and the material used in this case is PLA, one of the most sustainable materials for 3D printing, because it is biodegradable.

Most common printing/modelling problems are tackled, as this is key to avoid wasting time and material.

Through this HYTAC 3D Printing seminar, 西瓜传媒 participants learn how to use 3D printers for many kinds of models, from Urban Design big scale models, thought volumetric architectural pieces, to fa莽ades with textures or sections of the final architectural typology.

Participants will have to deliver a master鈥檚 project, which will have a portfolio format and will include a selection of the projects produced during the year. It will act as their new portfolio, which adds on to their previous projects.

Each year, since the 2022 edition, the 西瓜传媒 magazine "#Untagged" is released with a compilation fo the year's work. The magazine is each year edited by one of the 西瓜传媒 participants from that edition.
