MAT94 : Interactive material library

Treball desenvolupat dins el marc del programa 'European Project Semester'.The purpose of this paper is to explain the design process of an interactive material library in detail and show the methods that were used during the project to reach our goal. Research and tests show that material libraries have a great importance in design processes; this is because of they knowledge they bring to creators to enhance the performance, aesthetics and sustainability of their projects. Our team was able to develop an eye-catching, accessible, interactive library that accommodates three design aspects which were established at the beginning stages in the project; the physical library at the University of Antwerp’s campus, a digital database and a complementary app. All of our objectives were accomplished by systemizing each phase starting from the business canvas, to brainstorming, to designing with the requirement in mind, which was to create an Interactive Material Library; by this means, MAT 94 was created

Diseño, fabricación y control cinemático de la estructura y del sistema de extrusión de la impresora Albelia

La tecnología de impresión 3D cada vez está más presente en diferentes sectores, uno en los que se está desarrollando esta tecnología es el sector de la alimentación. El presente proyecto, trata de aportar parte de una máquina innovadora al sector alimentario que sume en el desarrollo de la tecnología de impresión 3D en este ámbito Concretamente, se desarrolla el mecanismo extrusor que permitirá extrudir pasta alimenticia. Este mecanismo, se basa en el funcionamiento Spiralift o cilindro helicoidal, el cual es un mecanismo de elevación que consta de un fleje y un muelle que encajan y crean una estructura muy resistente a compresión que, al enrollarse, va creando un cilindro. Para el desarrollo del conjunto extrusor, se ha adaptado para simplificar el funcionamiento. En primer lugar, el émbolo el cual empuja el material alimenticio viene impulsado por el fleje mientras se enrolla y crea el cilindro. En este caso, el fleje está fabricado a partir de una lámina de polipropileno, cortado en láser con forma de Cola de Milano. Esta forma permite que, al enrollarse el fleje, se fijen entre sí los perfiles sin la necesidad de disponer de un muelle como el mecanismo Spiralift convencional incorpora. Una vez se ha creado el prototipo, se ha adaptado a la estructura de la máquina POW3D física y electrónicamente. Por un lado, se ha fijado a las varillas lisas del eje X de la máquina con un soporte impreso en 3D de plástico. Por otro lado, se ha conectado el motor, que transmite el giro al fleje, a la placa RAMPS 1.4. Finalmente, se ha iniciado el control del mecanismo mediante la configuración del firmware llamado Marlin que incorpora la placa.3D printing technology is increasingly present in different sectors, one in whi this technology is being developed is the food sector. This project tries to contribute part of an innovative machine to the food sector that adds to the development of 3D printing technology in this area. Specifically, the extruder mechanism is developed will allow the extrusion food paste. This mechanism is based on the Spiralift or helical cylinder operation, which is a lifting mechanism that consists of a strap and a spring that fit together and create a very resistant structure to compression that, when rolled, creates a cylinder. For the development of the extruder assembly, it has been adapted to simplify operation. First, the plunger which pushes the food material is driven by the strap as it coils and creates the cylinder. In this case, the strap is made from a polypropylene sheet laser cut in the shape of a Dovetail. This shape allows that, when the strap is wound, the profiles are fixed together without the need for a spring like the conventional Spiralift mechanism incorporates

Mat 94. Librería de materiales

[ES] Este proyecto se plantea por la necesidad de desarrollar una librería de materiales que permita a los estudiantes explorar todas las características de éstos, que van desde plásticos a metales, cerámicas, maderas, materiales naturales y materiales sostenibles que se crean a partir de materiales reciclados y biológicos. El objetivo es diseñar un laboratorio de materiales interactivo o biblioteca que satisfaga las siguientes necesidades: Inspirar a los estudiantes de diseño Mezclar el mundo digital y físico para lograr un mayor nivel de interacción Utilizar VR o AR para ampliar los límites del entorno físico Biblioteca como laboratorio y laboratorio como biblioteca: permite que los estudiantes interactúen con materiales en lugar de solo crear una biblioteca como lugar de reunión para inspirarse Trabajar independientemente, área sin supervisar que se mantiene a sí misma o es mantenida por sus visitantes. Evocar nuevas exploraciones y pruebas. Encajar en el nuevo edificio que está en construcción en el Paardenmarkt (Campus de la Universidad de Amberes).[EN] This project originated from the need to develop a material library that allows students to explore all characteristics of materials, ranging from plastics to metals, ceramics, woods, natural materials, and sustainable materials that originate from recycles and biological resources. Design of an interactive material lab or library that fulfils the following needs: Inspire design students Mix the digital and physical world to achieve a higher level of interaction Use VR or AR to extend the limits of the physical environment Library as a lab and lab as a library: allow students to interact with materials instead of only creating a library as a meeting place to become inspired Work as an independent, not supervised area that maintains itself or is maintained by its visitors Evoke new explorations and testing Fit in the new building which is under construction at the Paardenmarkt For the team, it is necessary to: Analyse the possibilities of the new lab and become inspired by existing environments and the plans of the new building of the Paardenmarkt Explore opportunities of AR and VR to enrich our knowledge and inspiration Design the organization of the material lab/library, in both the physical as well as digital world Develop a masterplan for implementation.Zandecki Carranza, A.; García Garza, A.; Comas Turró, J.
