NAME:   CLT   (Cross-Laminated Timber )
FORMULA/ CHEMICAL COMPOSTION:
Spruce ( pine,fir,stone pine and other woods)
MATERIAL DESCRIPTION:
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels consist of several layers of lumber stacked crosswise and glued together on their faces.CLT is composed of an uneven number of layers (in general three, five, seven or even more), each consisting of side-by-side placed boards (or beams), which are crosswise arranged to each other normally under an angle of 90° and quasi rigidly connected by adhesive bonding.
EXTRACTION PROCESS:
The timber is sourced from sustainably managed forests in Europe, North America or New Zealand. Timber is the only sustainable construction material as it stores carbon for its entire life cycle. Sustainable forests are managed in such a way that ensures that trees are planted to replace the trees that are harvested.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGHT:  2,7 N / mm2
TENSILE STRENGHT:  0,12 N/mm2
STIFFNESS
DENSITY: 400-500 KG/m3
CARBON FOOTPRINT:   110 KG CO2e
RECYCLABLE:   Yes
LASER :   CNC in Industry
ADVANTAGE IN THE OCNTEXT OF DIGITAL FABRICATION:
CNC controlled cutting - Already in use in the market,  Precise cuts, cutting accuracy within the range of tolerances in building construction – according to DIN 18203/Part 3

3_Elisa Strozyk "Wooden Textiles"

http://www.elisastrozyk.de/seite/woodtex/woodentextiles.html

Elisa Strozyk has decided to take an experimental tack in her creative work. The young designer from Berlin creates objects that surprise and encourage the observer to take a second, closer look at her designs. Elisa’s objects have a very particular aesthetic, which arises both from the shapes they are given and from a highly unconventional use of material. Elisa Strozyk has attracted a lot of attention with her textiles, sheets, rugs and clothes made from a very unusual material: wood.

ZINC (Zn) Mineral category

le-zinc

FORMULA:

Zinc (Zn)

 

MATERIAL DESCRIPTION:

Zinc  is a chemical element with symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It is an essential trace mineral present in a rock, soil, air and water. Zinc is used in alloys such as brass, nickel silver and aluminium solder. Large quantities of zinc are used to produce die-castings which are important in the automobile, electrical and hardware industries. It is also used extensively to galvanise other metals such as iron to prevent rusting. Zinc oxide is widely used in the manufacture of very many products such as paints, rubber, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, plastics, inks, soaps, batteries, textiles and electrical equipment. Zinc sulfide is used in making luminous dials and fluorescent lights.

 

EXTRACTION AND REFINING PROCESS:

Roasting and sintering; electrolysis and smelting, require the prior removal of sulfur in a reaction:

 

BASIC PROPERTIES:

compressive strength (N/M2)

tensile strength (N/M2)                                   28

stiffness (N/M2)

density  (KG/M3)                                               7140

carbon footprint (average KGCO2E/KG)

recyclable                                                           YES

laser                                                                     YES

small laser                                                          YES

milling                                                                 YES

3d printing                                                         YES

 

ADVANTAGE IN THE CONTEXT OF DIGITAL FABRICATION:

ESSENTIAL role in the biological proceses of all humans, plants and animals

PROTECTION-ability to protect still from corroison

RECYCLING infinitely without loss of properties and quality

SUSTAINABLE sorce of energy systems

NON FERROUS metal that can be cut with CO2 laser

FLEXIBLE, ELASTIC, SUITABLE for shaping-3D printing
