A 3D printed storyboard created by Aectual that references the Dutch 2022 CES theme: “Tech for a Responsible Future”
In order to solve the urgent challenges we face today, we need to design solutions for the world we will live in tomorrow.
LAS VEGAS and AMSTERDAM (PRWEB) January 05, 2022
Marking its sixth consecutive year, the Netherlands (NL Tech) Pavilions, opened today at CES 2022, where they will showcase tech solutions for a responsible future alongside a 100% circular, XL 3D printed art display. The NL Tech Pavilions are dedicated spaces intended to foster collaboration, broker valuable partnerships and introduce groundbreaking NL tech solutions that solve global challenges across a wide berth of tech categories, including sustainability and resilience, AI, robotics and quantum computing, health and wellness, smart cities and smart homes, smart mobility and vehicle tech, data security and big data. The Netherlands Startup Pavilion is located in the Venetian Expo, downstairs in Eureka Park (Hall G, Booth 61928), and the Netherlands Scale-up Pavilion is located upstairs in the Venetian Expo at (Halls A-C, Booth 50833).
“The NL Tech Pavilion at CES 2022 includes two pavilions for the first time, which demonstrates and maps to the immense growth of the Netherlands tech ecosystem over the past several years,” said HRH Prince Constantijn van Oranje, Special Envoy to Techleap.nl and the Netherlands. “In order to solve the urgent challenges we face today, we need to design solutions for the world we will live in tomorrow. Our start-ups and scale-ups have answered the call to accelerate the change together. Sadly, while the coronavirus continues to have a global impact and current government regulations mean I cannot attend CES this year, I remain 100% committed to supporting all of the NL Pavilion companies regardless of my location.”
The NL Tech Pavilion highlights its theme of “tech for a responsible future” through art and design with the addition of three, 100% circular, XL 3D-printed room dividers on display as the centerpiece of the NL Pavilion in Eureka Park. XL 3D printing pioneer, Aectual has translated the Dutch story of innovation and sustainability into a 3D printed storyboard that references the Dutch 2022 CES theme: “Tech for a Responsible Future” and visualizes topics including clean energy, data security and climate change. The Netherlands continues to use innovation to combat climate change and sea level rise, as such water is a key theme in the design, as is the blue of the European Union flag. Additionally, the Dutch-American relationship is portrayed by a traditional Dutch Canal House that meets the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. View a short video about how Aectual brought the design to life here.
Made from 100% circular, sustainable, recycled and renewable materials in the form of plant-based bioplastic, the room dividers were previously used as part of the seating area of the temporary convention center that was built in Amsterdam during the EU presidency of the Netherlands in 2016. The bioplastic can be recycled up to seven times and reprinted into new items. After use, Aectual takes back the building products and directly recycles and reprints them into new products. Depending on the product type, this results in a 35% to 95% material reduction due to its parametric designs, the number of materials needed, special manufacturing and product design optimization. Following CES, the room divider panels will be used at the Consulate General of the Netherlands in San Francisco. In its next life.
