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.
