Eco-solutions: LEMKI Robotix creates portable, eco-friendly house from recycled plastic and 3D printing in Uzhhorod

Lemki Robotix has created a cutting-edge 3D-printed camper that uses recycled polypropylene bottles and fiberglass to enhance its structural durability. It required approximately 7,400 bottles to construct this camper.

Vasyl Honar, the co-founder and engineer of Lemki Robotix, commented on this with Varosh.

What is the solution?

The developers completed the project in just six months. Oksana Zadyranchuk handled the exterior design, while Marian Stehura was in charge of the interior design.

The motorhome went through three iterations before reaching its final version. Two prototypes were initially created and then refined until the third and final version was achieved.

The main characteristics of the motorhome

• Autonomy:

• The camper provides enough electricity for four days without recharging.
• It can be connected to a solar panel for an additional energy source if necessary.

• Functions:

• It is designed for three people, which makes it ideal for a young family (two adults and a child).
• It has a full-fledged kitchen, a sleeping unit, and water, gas, and electricity supply systems.

• Resource monitoring:

• The camper has a system that allows one to monitor the battery, water, and gas levels.

"Our main focus is 3D printing technology. We have developed appropriate equipment and software for working with composite materials and patented our own materials in cooperation with Kyiv University," Honar said.

The company utilizes various composite and multi-component materials and has even collaborated with Kyiv University to create its own patented materials.

In the future, Lemki Robotix aims to increase production by printing stationary and mobile homes using composite materials.

For reference:

Ukraine plans to prohibit the production, importation, and distribution of certain single-use plastic items, such as dishes, cotton buds, and drinking straws.

Rubryka also discovered how to collect millions for the army and society using simple bottle lids from water, juice, or yogurt. One charity organization and business serves as an example.
