Cobogó: From Brazilian Modern Architecture to 3D Printing

By iaac | Published: November 9, 2010

Cobogó is the name of the hollow elements, originally made of concrete or ceramic, created in the 20th Century. Its name derives from the initials of the surnames of three engineers that worked in Recife, Brazil: Amadeu Oliveira Coimbra, Ernest August Boeckmann and Antônio de Góes. These elements follow the same principle of the old [...]

If Additive Fabrication becomes cheap…

By Amay Gurkar | Published: October 25, 2010

RAPID PROTOTYPING Additive Fabrication refers to a class of manufacturing process, in a which a part is built by adding layers of materialupon another. The most important constraint for this type of manufacturing would be the cost. When Rapid Prototyping becomes cheaper and more open to the visions of the masses, everyone would be able [...]

A beehive as a case study for additive digital fabrication?

By iaac | Published: October 24, 2010

Bees One can see bees as perfect, small machines fabricating with high precision wax honeycombs to protect their larvae and store honey and pollen. They are ‘programmed’ to reproduce in an endless series a very optimised structure of hexagonal cells with very thin walls. This construction is fabricated by bees producing their own construction material [...]
