這個充滿實驗性的圓形果汁吧是由 CRA- Carlo Ratti Associati 所創建,透過乾製過後的柳橙皮來製作塑料絲,再以 3D 路徑列印一次性的杯子,盛裝新鮮的柳橙汁。這個原型機將會在未來的幾個月,開始在義大利的公共場所巡迴,旨在展示和實驗,日常生活中可以循環利用的新方法。這座機器高3.10米,頂部有一個圓頂,上頭可盛裝 1,500 個柳橙。
蘇黎世聯邦理工學院的研究人員,在木架構的構築流程之中嘗試了嶄新的數位工法,這是世界上第一個機械手臂參與大型木構協作的實際案例。這些承重的木頭模組,預先由機械手臂所組裝,之後將會組立在 DFAB HOUSE 最上面的兩層空間。
Researchers from ETH Zurich are using a new method for digital timber construction in a real project for the first time. The load-bearing timber modules, which are prefabricated by robots, will be assembled on the top two floors at the DFAB HOUSE construction site.
傳統的木頭框架構築,因為機械編程的介入而有更多的可能性。 The range of possibilities for traditional timber frame construction is
expanded by the new robotic method for digital timber construction.
Digitalisation has found its way into timber construction, with entire elements already being fabricated by computer-aided systems. The raw material is cut to size by the machines, but in most cases it still has to be manually assembled to create a plane frame. In the past, this fabrication process came with many geometric restrictions.
Researchers from ETH Zurich have built a prototype of an ultra-thin, curved concrete roof using innovative digital design and fabrication methods. The tested novel formwork system will be used in an actual construction project for the first time next year.
蘇黎世聯邦理工學院的研究人員,設計和建造了一個使用創新設計和製造方法的超薄混凝土屋面原型。該薄殼是一個屋頂單元的局部,將會於明年建構成一個名為 HiLO 的建築單元,隸屬於 NEST 大樓的一部分(the living lab building of Empa and Eawag in Dübendorf)。完工後下方的閣樓空間將成為 Empa 的客座教職員,未來生活與工作的空間。這群研究人員由 Architecture and Structures 的 Philippe Block 教授,以及 Architecture and Building Systems 的 Arno Schlüter 教授所領導,希望將嶄新的輕量化建築結構用於實際的測試,並將它與智慧和適應性建築系統結合起來。
A prototype for an ultra-thin, sinuous concrete roof using innovative design and fabrication methods has been designed and built by researchers from the ETH Zürich. The shell is part of a roof-top apartment unit called HiLo that is planned to be built next year on the NEST, the living lab building of Empa and Eawag in Dübendorf. The penthouse will provide living and work space for guest faculty of Empa. Researchers led by Philippe Block, Professor of Architecture and Structures, and Arno Schlüter, Professor of Architecture and Building Systems, want to put the new lightweight construction to the test and combine it with intelligent and adaptive building systems.
The temperature during the day doesn't seem to stop rising in Indian summers, and installing big air conditioning systems is uneconomical and energy inefficient for a majority of the population. Working under such heated conditions takes a toll on the health of the employees, a problem which was also faced at the factory of Deki Electronics in Uttar Pradesh.
Excessive heat released from the Genset at the entrance in the external area of the factory had reduced productivity to a minimum. It was also heating up the entire driveway making the exterior envelope of the building hotter, hence reducing its efficiency and increasing air conditioning load of the building.
這篇文章主要紀錄公司的設備 Objet 30 異常與相關的維修經驗,希望能幫助到有需要的人。這台是和通業技研採買的設備,感謝 S 和 M 兄長期的協助,以及阿良的一路扶持。在得知耗材的報價之後,差點沒被這天價的特規「膈膜式真空幫浦」(Diaphragm Vacuum Pump)嚇死,於是開始了漫長的自助維修之路。以下是這些天日來所閱讀的網路文章,彙整於下方。
