Associer la fabrication additive et soustractive pour un projet \u00ab\u00a0in\u00e9dit\u00a0\u00bb – Dimensional Innovations cr\u00e9e la plus haute structure autoportante imprim\u00e9e en 3D du monde<\/h2>\n\n
When presented with a unique task \u2013 create a nine-story memorial with strict safety and design expectations \u2013 Dimensional Innovations decided to combine the powerful techniques of additive and subtractive machining. Mastercam CAD\/CAM software directed the 1020 Thermwood Large Scale Additive Manufacturing twin gantry machine that succeeded in producing the memorial. <\/p>\n\n

D\u00e9tails du projet<\/h2>\n\n
The Challenge: <\/strong>The Al Davis Memorial had strict manufacturing parameters to which to adhere. It had to be nine stories tall, weigh under 250,000 pounds, withstand heavy winds, have highly reflective surfaces, be fireproof, and stay within the budget and timeline. Using only 3D printing to create such a structure would be impossible, given the high expectations for surface finishes and timeline expectations. <\/li>
La solution : <\/strong>Mastercam, le logiciel de CAO\/FAO le plus utilis\u00e9 pour les applications d’usinage. <\/li>
Avantages : <\/strong>
Peut fonctionner avec presque toutes les unit\u00e9s d’usinage du march\u00e9, et les ing\u00e9nieurs d’application sont disponibles pour aider \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper des codes. <\/li>
Les fonctionnalit\u00e9s \u00e9tendues de CAO facilitent et acc\u00e9l\u00e8rent le Design, le tout dans la m\u00eame interface que la partie FAO.<\/li>
Le fraisage 3 axes et 5 axes peut \u00eatre g\u00e9r\u00e9 dans la m\u00eame interface.<\/li>
Les parcours d’outils multiaxes avanc\u00e9s facilitent la programmation sur cinq axes ou plus. <\/li>
La biblioth\u00e8que d’outils de Mastercam peut importer des informations sur les outils directement \u00e0 partir des fabricants d’outils. <\/li>
La v\u00e9rification et la simulation compl\u00e8tes sont possibles sans module additionnel co\u00fbteux.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul>\n\n
Dimensional Innovations is a leading design and production firm, specializing in providing engaging experiences within a built space for entertainment giants and Fortune 500 companies. Because of their expertise in doing the impossible, they were chosen by the Las Vegas Raiders organization to create a nine-story memorial for the late Al Davis, former owner of the team. The sheer size of the nine-story-tall memorial made manufacturing daunting for the vast majority of shops in the United States. Add in the strict parameters set by the Raiders organization and Manica Architecture, the firm responsible for building the new stadium, and the project became next to impossible. The memorial had to weigh under 250,000 pounds, be able to withstand heavy wind load, provide an exceptional reflective surface similar to Anish Kapoor\u2019s Cloud Gate in Chicago, adhere to exacting safety standards like being fireproof, and stay true to the initial design \u2013 and it had a firm budget and timeline <\/p>\n\n
DI\u2019s solution was to 3D print the memorial and then use 5-axis machining to finish the parts, which would allow them to achieve incredibly tight tolerances. The company purchased a 1020 Thermwood Large Scale Additive Manufacturing (LSAM) twin gantry machine specifically to make the memorial. The unit hosts a printhead on one side and a 5-axis router head on the other. <\/p>\n\n
