India Art n Design: E-Toilet - 1 views

  •  
    By Pari Syal Photography: Courtesy Eram Scientific E-Toilet christened "Delight" is India's technological answer to public sanitation ensuring cleanliness, sustainability and efficient maintenance. Scarcity of toilets has not been the crippling issue in our country; it is the lack of maintenance of existing facilities that is the key problem tarnishing the public sanitation system and making it unfit for use.

Heathrow T2: the softest of soft launches - 1 views

  •  
    The smooth, staggered launch of Heathrow's new Terminal 2 applied lessons learned from the debacle of the T5 opening. The Queen's Terminal was opened with little fanfare and a gentle ramping up of operations, a strategy that lacks PR dazzle but has proven essential to an airport under pressure to get it right.

Lettre de l'Innovation - 0 views

  • Depuis, des technologies de frittage de poudre et de fusion laser ont été développées pour la production de pièces métalliques (DMLS et SLM). Tous ces procédés fonctionnent sur le même principe de fabrication additive, c’est-à-dire une superposition de couches de matières, contrairement aux méthodes de fabrication traditionnelles où la pièce est taillée dans la masse. Validation d’un concept Initialement utilisées dans l’industrie Automobile, l’Aéronautique, l’Aérospatial et l’Armement, ces nouvelles techniques de prototypage s’étendent aujourd’hui dans d’autres domaines comme la Médecine, l’Architecture, le Design et se perfectionnent suivant les besoins nécessaires. Dans le processus de conception, il y a d’abord la validation du modèle numérique puis du modèle physique. La numérisation de l’objet virtuel (CAO) est indispensable à la concrétisation de l’objet réel. Ce dernier permet de faire évoluer la conception par l’ensemble de l’équipe du projet et d’appréhender très vite ses défauts, voir de diminuer les risques de modifications lors de son industrialisation. Réduction du coût et du temps de réalisation Les techniques de prototypage rapide permettent de produire des pièces en une seule opération sans outillage ce qui minimise les risques. Seules quelques étapes de dépoudrage ou de retrait des supports sont nécessaires mais n’influencent pas les coûts et temps de fabrication qui restent faibles. Par ailleurs, le surplus de matière qui n’a pas été transformé est récupéré et réutilisé soit directement après la réalisation de la pièce soit après un recyclage complet. De nouvelles formes Outre l’économie de temps, de matière ou d’argent, les techniques de prototypage rapide offrent de nouvelles possibilités de formes. En effet ce sont les seules techniques qui permettent de produire des formes complexes, imbriquées les unes dans les autres en une seule opération.
  • Ces systèmes de production sont pour l’instant voués à la petite série car au-delà d’une certaine quantité de pièces à produire, il devient plus rentable d’utiliser les moyens de production classiques. Il ne faut pas oublier que la fonction première de ces techniques est  la réalisation de prototypes.

  • Ses utilisateurs très souvent à l’origine de nouvelles expériences, orienteront probablement les fabricants de machines de prototypage voir de production rapide, vers de nouvelles applications toujours plus innovantes. En attendant, le prototypage rapide sera le sujet de la prochaine exposition thématique de l’Innovathèque visible à l’Institut Technologique FCBA à partir du mois de juin 2008 !

    the rapid prototypage (here uin french.. but)
  •  
    Pourrait-il y avoir du prototypage rapide à l'échelle d'un batiment ? ou disons des pièces de 2 à 3m de long ... produites en série à moindre cout...(!)

    to be seen coz of high researches...
  •  
    this is the site of Mitchell Joachim, PHd at MiT ... netx has very good intuitions and plays far with formal designs...Terreform ONE [Open Network Ecology] is a nonprofit organization and philanthropic design collaborative that integrates ecological principles in the urban environment. The group views ecology in design as not only a philosophy that inspires visions of sustainability and social justice but also a focused scientific endeavor. The mission is to ascertain the consequences of fitting a project within our natural world setting. Solutions range from; green master planning, urban self-sufficiency infrastructures, community development activities, climatic tall buildings, performative material technologies, and smart mobility vehicles for cities. These design iterations seek an activated ecology both as a progressive symbol and an evolved artifact. Terreform is a winner of the Infiniti Design Excellence Award - History Channel City of the Future competition.

Nuclear powered aircraft: Cold War fission to new-age fusion - 1 views

  •  
    Inspired by the promise of vastly increased flight durations, the Russian and American militaries experimented with nuclear powered aircraft for two decades, but the concept never progressed beyond a handful of trials. Lockheed Martin's Skunk Works claims to have the solution in its grasp, unveiling plans for a compact nuclear fusion generator that could power everything from aircraft to naval vessels within ten years.
