OBLIQUE STRUCTURE TOWER | Group 10 – Digital Fabrication | 04. 3D Print

An oblique structural system that it’s transferring the load in two different ways, internal one by the middle core supported with a vertical columns around it and external one by the trusses on elevations, and both related with 6 levels of beams that it’s changing the angle in the inner void from the top till the bottom depending on the height in the tower, to give at the end a very high stability for the entire form.

3D-Printing l Group-5

The aim of the exercise was to design and fabricate one part of a 5 meter long vertical installation with the use of a 3d-printing machine. The design was started by making a point cloud within the given bounding cylinder. Then the connections were made keeping in mind both the given points and the new points. All these connecting lines were converted into tubes but in order to make more organic in nature as inspired from a tree T-spline (a plugin for rhino) was used. Therefore, the final structure is more continuous, smooth and coherent in nature.

Group 2_3D Printing

The project consisted in creating a model for 3D printing a piece of 200 x 100 mm.

During the first phase, the group tried to connect the points that were given, into a structure that created notorious vertical triangles, that were connected at the top and bottom, to the vertical beam.

The second phase, started after talking to the professors, when we realized that the structure of the piece needed to be reinforced because of its fragile materiality, it scale, and because our group is almost at the bottom of the installation, the piece would be supporting the rest of the other pieces.

Therefore, the width of the connector points was amplified, also the width of the pipes, and the simple vertical triangles, became a sort of molecular structure, that attached every vertical piece four times to the vertical beam.
