REQUIREMENTS

The project’s aim is to present a unique set of design challenges to the architects with:
An freeform surface which can be produced only an advanced production and design systems which uses computer aided design and manufacturing process with robot machine molding
The intended design -form have to be built with two different face to face panels which had to be produced in precise production.
The integrated curved neon led light also forces the tolerances of the joint between two different surfaces
To show the benefits of using GRP with; very precise tolerances , unlimited form capability, light weight and adequate mechanical strength enable to be used for architectural demands

SOLUTIONS

Unique double-curved freeform surfaces designed in GRASSHOPPER software
The prototypes are built in ULTIMAKER 3d printer
The molds are made with FANUC robotics machine with 6 axis with extra 2 axes positioner.
The production is made by spray-up process with GRACO FRP machines using polyester resin and fiber glasses.

RESULTS

Using the GRP panel systems for both facade cladding and decorative architectural elements has ensured a consistently high quality of free-form results which can be easily integrated artificial lighting

The flexibility of the product’s fast-install, modular construction has been demonstrated to its fullest extent in its application to the double curved façade

With its unique and stunning aesthetic appearance, the NOD STAND has won a design award.
