A2 - FABRICATION

Precedent 01:  Metropol Parasol - 1: 200

Size: 750mm length  X 375mm width X 140mm height 
Material: Basswood 1.5mm Thick
Technique: Laser Cutter

Elevation of Model - East
The slope of the 'trunk' is same with project: 5 degree differ with vertical.

Every Pieces Follow The Real Project with 1.5m X 1.5m Spaces

When intersecting the pieces, the challenge is small offset always happen so that the offset will enlarge with the processing.

Precedent 02: RGS centre in University of Monterrey - 1:500

Size: 198mm length X 54mm width X 64.8mm height
Material  & Techniques:  
Mould: CNC - Multicam Router - Blue Foam
Model: Casting - Plaster




The Mould Maked by CNC try to follow the original shape of the project, the challenge is the digital model making. The shape of the project is the twisted surfaces connect with the flat surfaces to create a huge arch as a gate of creation. As well as the pattern of the twisted surfaces is a challenge, the tool path is used to deal with this difficulty due to the pattern is so delicate that it is hard to use other way to make it.

Precedent 03 - CIRRATUS VASE - 1:2

Size: 200mm length X 200mm width X 300mm height
Material: Stoneware Clay
Technique: 3D pottery (Ceramic Printers)
Layers: 150

The first try is from the small to big, from the bottom to top. The product collapse on roughly 100mm height. 






The second try, from the big to small, from top to bottom, and change the model to suite with the material properties. The process is successfully completed.






The limits are the machine itself and the clay properties, the first is the clay is soft when it is wet, the collapse is easy to occur if the shape change much. The second is the machine to change the layers, which will left the marks. The third is the air babble in the clay. These will produce the defects of the printing will produce.

Model 01 -  Metropol Parasol - 1: 200 Size: 750mm length  X 375mm width X 140mm height  Material: Basswood 1.5mm Thick Technique: Laser Cutter Pieces: 158 Step 01 : Digital Model Making The digital model made in Fusion 360 and used the real project plans, elevations and sections as a reference. The tool of this model choosing to use create form which is able to create the free form as you want in Fusion 360.  Step 02: Slice the Model to Interlock Structure For this step, the Slicer for fusion 360 was chosen to create this structure. This is a powerful tool for Fusion 360 to create the slice structures by adjusting the parameter on the left side and it will provide the pieces sheets on the right side for preview.     Step 03: File for Laser Cutter  The Slicer will provide the files for laser cutter, output this file to Rhino and preparing to laser cut.  10 X 800mm X 450mm X 1.5mm sheets are used for this...

PROJECT MATRIX BENV7813 Contemporary Fabrication Techniques Ben Shen Z5243949 1.    Metropol Parasol Key Concept The first architectural precedent I chose is Metropol Parasol which is designed by Mayer H. Architects and engineered by Arup in Saville, Spain. There are three reasons choosing this specific precedent for fabrication. Firstly, this project extended the possibility by pushing the plywood, steel and glue further to create the one of biggest timber structure in the world (ARCHITECT). Therefore, the exploration of plywood proportion is expected to achieve in this fabrication process. Secondly, this project highly depends on the digital design. This mean I also could be familiar with these digital processes to create such an intersection structure.   Finally, the main structure of this project is made of plywood which is shaped by CNC-milled. This fabrication technology also is introduced in this course. In other word...
