設計師必知:優化產品外觀降低 CNC 加工成本入門 – 加點製造誌

關於 CNC 銑床 CNC 是一種由電腦控制的銑削工具,透過刀具切削的方式將原料加工。 先來看圖了解一下個部分的名稱: cnc 銑床通常有 3 個軸向:X:左右、Y:前後、Z:上下。 通常師傅會將待加工的「工件(Part)」先以「夾具(Vise)」固定,再固定在 CNC 工作台上,機台上的「刀具(Tool、Cutter)」就能夠以三個軸向自由切削物料。 Bioplastic Robotic Materialisation – materiability. Michael Hansmeyer. Bastian Beyer uses bacteria to calcify knitting into construction materials. London-based architect and designer Bastian Beyer's project explores the potential of using knitted textile structures that have been biologically solidified as sustainable construction materials.

Bastian Beyer uses bacteria to calcify knitting into construction materials

Beyer worked with fellow designer Daniel Suarez to apply traditional knitting techniques to unusual fabrics before solidifying them using biological processes, to determine the structural potential of composite materials. The designers hope that the resulting material could have a use in architectural design and construction, as spatial dividers, shading features, reinforcement and potentially structural roof or wall systems. The experiment saw a handcrafted, soft textile column gradually transformed into a rigid structure by using an active textile microbiome (a collection of micro-organisms) of a bacteria called sporosarcina pasteurii to form a calcite layer on the fibre of the knitted structure.

Voronoi Resin Screen: 5 Steps. The process outlines the stages and tools utilised to produce a voronoi resin screen.

Voronoi Resin Screen: 5 Steps

The screen itself exploits the material qualities of the resin and digital fabrication technologies to produce a final screen that has varying light qualities. The qualities produced by the voronoi screen are only possible by the implementation of digital design and fabrication tools. 用Arduino Mini Pro打造低成本迷你電子看板. 作者:Jack Hsu.

Animal Parade. A database containing examples and information is not always enough. Who would not love to feel and smell the wood too? For this purpose, we introduce FSC® Animal Parade – a series of three animals made from 36 lesser-known timber species kindly donated by partnering companies. Polygraph. Gallery: Using design to build a community. Architect Diébédo Francis Kéré (TED Talk: How to build with clay … and community) designs with both people and sustainability in mind. Raised in Burkina Faso, though he’s now based in Berlin, Kéré is always keen to include community-oriented spaces that invite people to sit down and engage in thoughtful conversation.

The central nature of community is a concept he has borrowed from Burkinabe tradition, and it’s one that plays a fundamental role in his design thinking. His architecture is pragmatic yet quietly playful, driven by a desire to make the most of (sometimes minimal) local resources. 507 Mechanical Movements. Prusa i3 Improved for laser cut by twelvepro. We found latest Prusa i3 printer design, the one Josef Prusa showed at Makerfaire this year in New York, for its elegant simplicity, but hinge like connection between Y axis assembly and frame needed improvement, in our opinion.

Using CAD software we reworked Prusa i3 design: Laser cut frame was stiffen by adding two angle members connected to the rear side of Y axis assembly. Original, printed Z Axis mounting parts proven to be easy to break, which is why we replaced them with stronger laser cut parts. We did not like loose ends on Z Axis lead screw (similar to Printrbot design), therefore we added miniature flanged ball bearing on each side, to support lead screws on the top. Ball-Nogues Studio. From the Museum of Modern Art Press Release: The Museum of Modern Art and P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center present an installation in P.S.1's outdoor courtyard by Los Angeles-based firm Ball-Nogues, led by Benjamin Ball and Gaston Nogues, winner of the eighth annual MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program.

The competition invites emerging architects to propose an installation for the courtyard of P.S.1 in Long Island City, Queens. The objective of the Young Architects Program is to identify and provide an outlet for emerging young talent in architecture, an ongoing mission of both MoMA and P.S.1. This year, five finalists selected by a closed nomination process were asked to present designs for an installation at P.S.1. The winning installation, Liquid Sky, designed by Ball-Nogues (Los Angeles), will be on view in the P.S.1 courtyard beginning June 21. Lifeobject. LifeObject is a material exploration of the relationships between the artificial and the natural in the future built environment.

Its starting point is nature’s iconic model of a home - the bird’s nest; an assembly of weak and light found materials with no additional joints or glue, out of which emerges a free-form complex structure that is extremely light, robust and highly resilient. Through an experimental process of scientific analysis, coding, material research and design, LifeObject transposes the resilient properties of a bird’s nest into an architectural form. From this material system, a new matter-structure emerges - a volumetric porous material that is lighter than feathers, a free-form structure that is stable yet flexible. 1400 rods, ranging from 1 cm to 5 cm in diameter, covering approx. 27.13 cubic meters. That is the numeric translation of the data obtained from the sparrow nest and implemented in LifeObject.

Adaptive Folding Structure – Thomas Diewald. Adaptive Soft Structure. Techtextil the 12th Student Competition “Textile Structures for New Building 2013”/ 2nd Prize in the Macro Architecture Category Design for an adaptive soft facade system took as its inspiration the nodes of grass stems. These were taken as the starting point to explore how variations in geometry might be achieved through small variations in pressure in single or multiple inflated chambers attached to initially planar elastic surfaces stiffened by flexible splines. Through design and experiment it was shown how, depending on the number and position of pneumatic cells, both anticlastic and synclastic configurations might be obtained. With a mounting system and additional infilling of flexible tensioned membranes, a prototype adaptable façade was designed and investigated with digital and physical models.

Whiteout - OLIVIERSOLENTE. Architecture | UTS | Master IV - Giving form to formlessness STRUCTURE AND ENVELOPE [“Whiteout” is primarily constructed from two materials carbon and Tyvek. The combination of an advanced structural material with a common building wrap creates new opportunities for a “soft structure.” Structural systems are traditionally designed to be “hard” enough to counteract dynamic weather forces. The entire structure and shifts with the wind- not only the structural fabric Tyvek.] WEATHER [Weather is an ever present natural force in constant movement. The unique properties of the two materials combine to create a structure that is not based on separate roles of structure and envelope but instead synthesizes their individual capacities to adapt to weather.
