At present, Selective Laser Sintering (Plastic Laser Sintering, PLS for short) is the most popular technology among all 3D printing technologies, mainly used in industries such as automobiles, prototypes, and medical treatment. In the field of architectural design, it is also favored by designers due to its unique advantages.
In Shanghai, the top domestic 3D printing design company XUBERANCE and Fangfengyuzhu, the construction of the Shanghai Center Sightseeing Entrance Exhibition, conducted a cross-border cooperation attempt to accurately "copy" the Shanghai Tower, the tallest building in the country, and create the world's highest 3D Print building models up to 2.5 meters in height!
The model was supported by Suzhou Daye 3D Printing Technology Co., Ltd., a leading domestic 3D printing technology comprehensive development service company. It was produced on the Huashu Hi-Tech Nylon 3D printing equipment. It reproduces the exquisite logical relationship and elegant shape of the Shanghai Center. The simple shape and the complex construction logic are perfectly unified, and the original architectural design is retained to the greatest extent, close to the local details, so that every window mullion, every internal structure, and every seat of the Shanghai Center can be stunningly presented.
2.5 meters, the world's tallest 3D printed model
It is understood that the main building of the Shanghai Tower has 118 floors, and the appearance of the building rises spirally. The opening on the building surface rotates through from the bottom to the top. As the height increases, this design that can delay wind flow is twisted by nearly 1 degree per floor, which also makes it more difficult to make tower models using traditional methods.
XUBERANCE spent 720 hours printing this 2.5-meter-high art product, with a maximum diameter of 340 mm, which is currently the world's highest 3D printed architectural model. The reason why Huashu Hi-Tech PLS technology is considered is that the aging resistance of nylon materials is better than that of commonly used engineering plastics and photosensitive resin materials, and the color of nylon 3D printing works is white, bright and clean, with good finish, which can set off the building proudly. Zhuoli's temperament.
Saving complex savings simply refers to the limit of 3D printing process
The spiraling shape of Shanghai Center resides in the rapid development, forming a steadily rising relationship with the three surrounding super high-rise buildings. The overall model is complicated and simple, and the design directly points to the limit of the 3D printing process. This is a combination of three-dimensional design and architecture. An attempt to design a marriage, PLS technology enables its non-linear and complex shapes to be legendary in such a short period.
On May 25, Beijing "3D Printing Innovation and Industrialization Forum" will be held at Beijing City University! By then you will learn about the most cutting-edge application cases in the fields of aerospace, dentures, jewelry, automobiles, processing services, etc., and experience the high-quality customer service system of Huashu Hi-tech's entire industry chain. At the same time, there will be 100+ top corporate leaders with you Discuss how to seize another new opportunity brought by 3D printing technology and how to grasp the general trend of industrial manufacturing transformation and upgrading.
