Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Dive into the heart of plant autonomy with JARDINS D’3DEN – From Filament to Strawberry, the practical, all-in-one guide that blends 3D printing and hydroponics to help you create your own soilless growing modules. Whether you’re a maker, urban gardener, educator, or driving a micro-farm project, this book gives you the keys to design, print, secure, and optimize custom hydroponic systems.

In this richly documented manual, Dr. Philippe Cadic walks you through, step by step:

• Why and how 3D printing is revolutionizing hydroponics: design freedom, rapid prototyping, cost savings, and logistical resilience.

• Material selection and food safety: how to distinguish compatible plastics, avoid harmful leaching, and understand certifications and surface treatments.

• Solving the watertightness challenge of FFF-printed parts: design, post-processing, and advanced techniques to ensure reliable water circuits.

• Optimizing your prints (PLA, PETG, ABS, etc.) and slicer settings to maximize durability and performance.

• Barrier treatments: food-grade epoxy resins, varnishes, smoothing, annealing, and more—for safe, long-lasting surfaces.

• Simple and advanced testing methods to validate waterproofing before deployment.

• From prototyping to production: duplication via silicone molding and food-grade resin to scale with consistency.

• Rapid troubleshooting: concrete solutions for leaks, interlayer fusion defects, bubbles, warping, and finish touch-ups.

With checklists, standardized profiles, documentation methodologies, and real-world case studies, this book is your complete toolbox for building intelligent, secure, and scalable hydroponic systems.

What you’ll gain:

• Independence in manufacturing your own hydroponic components.

• A deep understanding of food-safety risks and how to control them.

• Mastery of watertightness and post-processing for 3D prints.

• A smooth transition from prototype to small-batch production.

• Quick diagnostic tools to keep your systems running.

Who is it for?
Makers, urban gardening enthusiasts, STEM educators, sustainable systems designers, urban agriculture project leaders, demanding DIYers, and foodtech innovators.

Don’t let supply chains or off-the-shelf parts limit your growing: create, adapt, secure.
JARDINS D’3DEN – From Filament to Strawberry is the indispensable companion for growing differently.
